Mike Tyson from 1986 vs 1996

You seem like an utterly redarded fuckwit on a mission to contaminate threads.

He’s a rapist and told a press member that he would fuck him till he loved it... pretty sure Tyson is a rapist. Fuck that scum bag

I've always believed ppl were wrong, or just thought simply "Tyson in his prime", there is no such Tyson, there are in fact 3.
1. Tyson by Cus D'amato & Kevin Rooney from 85 to 88 up to 35-0 Michael Spinks.
2. Tyson by Don King from 89 to 91 yes men camp
3. Tyson by "jail will mess you up" from 95 to 05, not even worth mentioning.

Tyson by Cus is beautiful, while i was at first awe'd by his KO strength like the rest of the world, his defense is amazing. Cus was able to Dog Whisperer Tyson into submission and bend to his every will, then Cus passed that leash onto Kevin Rooney.

Look, i'm not calling Tyson an animal, but he obviously needed to be reigned in, he can't have free will!

What happens when Tyson is stolen by Don King? Tyson, all of a sudden has free will and does this.

And he plays with it, like a big cat! this thing has 5, 5inch KNIVES on each paw, and he treats it like a big puppy, you get stories like this

He seemed like he needed a trainer that was also a father figure.

Tyson weighed in at 216lbs in 1991, dude could have made the current cruiser weight limit of 200lbs if he cut water.

True about the head movement, looking for one punch etc, but IMO the single biggest issue that sent Tyson into a decline was the booze, partying and lack of serious conditioning. It affected his ability to maintain pace if the early KO didn’t come. You could clearly see he was gassed badly in the Douglas fight, yes he got stopped with a beautiful combo, but it was his lack of top level conditioning that actually did him in. Same with the Holyfield fights, he could not maintain a hard pace both on offense and on defense, so if the early KO didn’t come he wasn’t prepared to go a long and HARD fight, both physically and mentally. His conditioning was horrible at times post prison, and forget the late version of Tyson, as an example look at the Danny Williams fight, domiated and almost KO’ed him in round one, and two rounds later he was so exhausted he could barely stand, let alone actually dig deep and fight.

Cardio was a big one.. he just wasn't in as good as shape, so he couldn't keep the pressure on in a long fight.

Prime Mike was good for about 8 rounds, then he coasted. 90's mike was only good for 4 rounds.

can someone tell me what skills Tyson lost in that 10 years if he lost any.guys with good knowledge for boxing please explain to me the difference .

he lost a shit load of discipline. Even after 86 he started partying and didn't have the best coaches around him
