It's really incredible.
A lot of the purists say that Tyson was a product of weak competition and ducking harder opponents. I just don't see how. I don't care if you take Randy Johnson down to A ball to blow away teenagers, you're still going to look at the skill-set and your jaw is going to hit the floor.
You watch those old fights and you see just how fast he was and just how strong he was - I don't care if it was an off era for heavyweights; he was a freak. He essentially took Floyd Mayweather's quickness/escapability and slapped another 75 lbs of raw muscle on it then gave it a killer's disposition.
Mike Tyson was a bad, bad man.
