I do wonder though... maybe some of the fights are a set up because looking at his KO highlights, some of the dudes get on the ground way to easily when Tyson barely scratched them.
Ali in his prime would have taken him apart. Remember, we never got to see Ali in his prime. He did not fight for 4 years between the age of 25 and 29. What most of us remember of him was after he returned from exile well into his 30's.
i love the trainer making swooshing noises every time he moves the medicine ball. Tyson looks so annoyed by it.
Tyson's height and reach are actually a natural disadvantage, somewhat offset by modern conditioning techniques and very tight shoulder and arm muscles which allowed for a quicker punching motion. Ali had amazing footwork and agility, and great reach; then evolved into a good defensive strategist against brawlers like Foreman: to whom Tyson is probably the most analogous. Also take a look at Tyson cowering against Lewis, psychologically he was as much of a mess as Foreman used to be. Frazier was the toughest of all of them, Holyfield proved similarly tenacious against Tyson and more technically proficient. Real Deal might have been the best of his era if he had fought Lewis early enough.
If you hit somebody on the chin and it jerks their head to the side, or strike them right at the jawline next to the ear and neck it's disorienting and painful enough without knocking them out, to the point that they don't want to get up after having already earned their check. My older brother did that once when I was thirteen and I took a nap on the kitchen floor.
Ali fought in his prime. Frasier beat him in his prime. all boxers hit a prime at different age. heavyweights tend to be late. tyson didn't because he was a mental midget and unstable.
I hate that place. Expensive, but setup like a fast food joint and never crowded, so kind of depressing.
