Tyson did NOT have great technique! Good enough to wax a bunch of chumps they threw in the ring with him for sure. But when he was put into the ring with Douglas , Holyfeild , Lewis , ect....( True technicians of the sport ) he lost.

He wasn't washed up when he lost to Holyfeild either , Tyson had the WBA belt at the time. His strength in his punching power and fear alone were his best qualities. He was fun to watch for sure , but when he got in the ring with a true craftsman of the sport ( the names I listed above ) They destroyed him in not only technique , but power as well.

The comparison towards James is way off! Jam,es has nights where he's untouchable against the same guys he races with every week. Other nights , their are other riders that do the same thing. A lot of different variables. Tyson just got "out classed ".....James never has. Because every now and then , he comes out swinging and mops the floor with everyone. Fan or no fan , you can't ever take that away from him.

Tyson had great technique....when he was an amatuer and in his early fights before he relied on the power punch he showed a tremendous jab and unmatched footwork/movement. He had a bob and weave style..a classic boxing technique...he studied the greats and knows fighting as good as anyone... Put the crack pipe down and go back and do some research. He had reached his prime before the Douglas fight...everything after that was on the back leg of his career. You can't just make stuff up and pretend it's fact.....
Exactly! When Tyson was training with Teddy Atlas he had great technique and skills, just another subject that jeffro503 thinks hes an expert on that he doesn't know shit about. LaughingLaughing
