This video really highlights what a good defensive fighter Tyson was! For those that think he was just a power puncher, just a Knockout artist, I would advise you to watch the video above.

Tyson was a great, great fighter back in the day!

Tyson's KO of Reggie Gross is the finest feat of boxing I've ever seen IMO.

The way how he evaded all those punches from the fast handed Gross & then countered with a single hook to down Gross was breathtaking.

His defense? It was genuinely good...but laughably over-rated by his followers & fanboys.

It wasn't the greatest but great compared to today's standards. Heavyweights in his time were alot faster than the heavyweights of today and he was able to dodge their punches. Also, He moved around more than today's heavies who just stand there and box with their hands up and call it defense.
