This is nonsense mate. Punching speed and power are usually physical gifts, hence attributes, Herbie Hide had them to such an extent he could hurt much bigger men. However, Louis had punch placement and the ability to mix-up his shots perfectly, his best punch was the left hook-right cross, they came as one. Tyson punches fast but where was his speed and power beyond his 93 second prime? Louis could hit hard throughout his career because he could thread a shot in, Tyson went on headless chicken attacks. Tyson did have limited ability, not even a fat Toney Soprano lookalike shouting numbers into his ears can disguise that (This Rooney the genius trainer act should go the way of Cus and the Kid fairytales, where are Rooney's other great fighters?). Even in his prime Mike would throw shots with the other arm bent at a porous angle, he also often brought his foot off the floor when swinging. Beyond his speed his technique was poor. Plus, to answer another thread, Larry Holmes fought like Larry Holmes for a single minute and out-boxed Mediocre Mike
Again out of this long post you fail to mention a single HW who had the attributes of Tyson and you cant compare someone like Herbie Hide to Tyson. If Tyson had 'Limited ability' how did win the title? How did he win all 3 belts and become the first Undisputed champ since Spinks beat Ali?
Someone with limited ability is someone like Alfredo Evangeslita or Marvis Frazier. You really need to get your brown nose out of Lewis's ass-cheeks and see the real picture.
Also about Kevin Rooney, the man was an excellent trainer and was out there for Mike and Mike only - Rooney wasnt there just to get himself rich unlike those handlers Mike had in the Douglas fight where one of them used an unblown baloon with ice to heal the swelling instead of a compress.
Cut the stats, I don't do them. Ruddock was average, my eyes tell me that and my expertise endorses it, if he was finished after 19 tough rounds he is a pussy, if he cannot fight due to being booed he is also a faggot (in the sense of not manning up and ramming the chants down the fans throats)
So now Ruddock is a pussy on going toe to toe with arguably the most powerful puncher in the history of the sport?
The only 'Faggots'or should I saw Cowards are these shitty British fans who like to boo other fighters national anthems but dont have the bravery to step into the ring, Ive never seen this anywhere else but in Britain. I just want to dare these British hooligans (football is just the same) in the 2010 WC to come to MY country and start breaking MY cities like they did in Germany, I garantee our police arent tolerant damn wimps like they are over there.
Lewis has one hard round versus Briggs, a fast hitting and hard punching heavyweight, one of only two of all time apparently. Difference? Lewis KO'd Briggs,
I like it how you make Briggs out to be a great fighter but then your head is so far up Lewis's ass you dont realise the difference because Tyson also KO'ed Frans Botha as well when he was behind on points and he was never staggered like a drunk.
." Lewis had more toughness than Tyson could ever muster.
The man was knocked out by a Single freaking punch! And that by 2 journeyman! Tyson has only ever been KO'ed by a sustained beating. Hell Frank Bruno has never been taken out by a single blow like Lewis has but everyone seems to critize Bruno for having a glass jaw.
I like Tyson, I watch his fights but the guy was getting hit with lead left uppercuts by Biggs for gods sake.
And Holmes was floored by Isaac and Snipes for gods sake. I can put this stupid 'logic' on any fighter.
