I agree with you on that. frazier, foreman and liston were satisfied with outside shots if thats all they could get. tyson was FAST. when tyson wanted to get inside, he was there. remember his uppercut and hook combos? and he used to be so precise. nowadays he tries these same punches and looks rusty, and then when he realizes that he IS rusty(or maybe that he is just not as fast and accurate as he wants to be) he gets pissed and ends up doing something crazy. many people question mikes chin, and maybe they should. holyfield hits harder than people give him credit for, but not as hard as mike and he got to mike with his power. but i really think that a lot of mikes bad nights were a result of personal problems, not a weak chin. anyone agree?
I guess im doing this because im waiting for boxing on my ps2, but I actually think prime tyson would beat liston. they both had similar punching power, but mike had more speed and possibly more brute force... and you would have to question listons heart. remember that "ghost punch" that ali KO'ed him with in the rematch?
