Reminds me of this
i heard a guy say he could have been a great bodybuilder, after listening to him, i thought he had a point. Ironically, he made his name in a sport that can really be hard for a guy with his build....for wrestling. Compact and very robust, a lot like Cormier but more naturally vascular and athletic. If he went to wrestling instead of boxing i can see him as an olympian, again, much like DC.
This just proves to me that if he trained sprawl n brawl for a few months, he wins UFC 1.
Yeah I'm sure Holyfield never saw the frustrated bite technique before. Tyson is the most overrated HW champ of all time. Fought nobodies mostly except 94 yr old Holmes, and we he did was stopped over and over again.Tyson with bare knuckle wouldn't even be fair, imagine a 21yr old Tyson fully committed to MMA. He was a more intelligent fighter than people give him credit for, and he was a very fast learner.
Underrated replyVEWRY FANTASTIC BODY!
I respectfully disagree. Tyson relied heavily on his coaches' tractics and how they drilled him. He outright struggled when his gameplan didn't work out and then failed to adapt during the fights, which in my book doesn't make him a very intelligent fighter. Fast learner, yes, but he definitely needed a brain behind his career.
