    tyson had a hell of a career but the thing that ruined tyson that ssome dont realize is that he was a converted southpaw, that why his jab was gone , also it took him along time to get his footwork perfect but he did get it , also his back leg was bigger(more musculer) then his front leg wich is also wrong and why he tore his meniscus .him fighting right handed is the wrong alignment for his body. also tyson must of worked extrememly hard with all these things going against him to be one of the greatest if not the greatest heavyweight ever ,but if theres ever a heavy weight that is a natural right hander and fights just like tyson studies his training sessions and everything he will be alot better then tyson and last alont longer. what also amazes me is tyson power becuase if he fought soutpaw he would of had even more power. the reason he couldnt fight southpaw was becuase he was too short and would of got cought with long straight righthands from taller opponets so cus converted him. when he wasw 14 x pro bobby lewis said tyson hit with the hardest straight left hand he had ever felt at 14 years old

      why would being short stop tyson from fighting southpaw?. How would fighting southpaw give tyson more power?.

        becuase it would of put more speede in his hook and jab and more power in his left. but long straight right hands would have been thrown at him if he fought southpaw from talll fighters

          I don't think he would've been successful because if he grew up rich in the suburbs or something with nice loving parents, he could've been a boxer but not as good as he was.

          IMO, the rage from his childhood made him a better boxer. It made him a bad PERSON but a great BOXER.

          Thoughts?
          - -U a good PERSON but a bad BOXER?
