You don't loose skills. You loose speed power and all of that before you loose skills. Tyson will be able to knock people out until he's bed ridden or dead.

That's a contradiction, that makes no sense whatsoever.

Anyway the reason Mike peaked young is because his skills eroded, no big mystery.

No shit he will always be able to bang.

I am a blue belt in BJJ and I would take him down and choke him out, simple as that.

I'm a black belt in origami and I'd fold Mike into a paper crane in 3 seconds...

God damn idiots on this board.

I'm 41 now, when I was 17 Mike was in his prime. We'd spar at the club for 10 minutes and talk about Mike for an hour. The guy was a hero back then.

But sure - youse could all take him...

His main skills were actually his speed, overall defense and ability to get in his opponent's guard. That degraded once Kevin Rooney got out of the picture. Everything was linked for Tyson. As it is for all champions, only to an even greater extent with him.

yeah..a lot going on in there. First thing I noticed (charity spar or whatever) mike came out and established he was the boss out the gates, touching him early, turning him..basic stuff to show you are the boss during a spar and you can turn it up if you decide too.

Love the head movement , advancing inside off the slip, counters to the body, simple shit he's doing in there burning zero gas...man you can learn so much from this guy. I'd pay to spar with him and get some of that knowledge.

Tyson was quicker with his hits than any MMA fighter I've seen...I mean his combos were nasty...
I feel sorry for any dude in the club or on the street who mistakenly tangles with Mike...that is one dad you don't want a piece of

And nobody mentioned the Michael Steele shirt---his ex wife's brother.

It would be fun to watch him spar a few rounds with Junior Dos Santos or another big name mma heavyweight. It would be great experince for them maybe they could learn a thing or two.

Junior cant even handle a WW

Power is well preserved, its one of the last things to go. Reflexes and speed (and recovery from training/injury) is why most guys are done at 40.

What is he going to do with his boxing skills when I put him on his back?

Fortress · « **Reply #34 on:** March 01, 2012, 12:13:44 PM »

In his prime, Tyson would punch Fedor into another dimension within seconds of a fight.

Hope this helps.

Tyson was beautifully aggressive and fast. Punching often lifted him partially off the ground.

Yep...guys like him made me stay up late to see him fight ....to bad it lasted more or less 1 round...

wes · « **Reply #38 on:** March 01, 2012, 03:49:38 PM »

Remember what a great boxer Michael Spinks was......Tyson made him look like a scared ragdoll who never boxed one round in his life.........reduced him to nothing even before the "fight" started.

Guy was a fucking animal.

Tyson was and is the best ever.

here's mike tysons oppinion on mma (not so serious)

and since people here are compareing mma and boxing here's bernard hopkins giving rashad evans some pointers

Bernard's oppinion on mma

Bernard said it best, mma vs boxing with boxing rules and boxing would dominate, and vica versa, but both are legit! But I think olympic level boxing could knock most pro level mma fighters if they can't get a hold on the boxer.

True. It compare that to the bore fest that is now heavyweight boxing

If you watch mikes sparring videos when he was in his best form, it's like the sparring partners were better than his actual opponents... it's only sparring, but they allways seemed so high quality/level, dunno.

Wasn't Spinks a glorified cruiserweight?
