Teddy Atlas saying Tyson was overrated and mentally weak

[MJ Truth]

Holyfield was head butting the shyt out of Mike that fight. That's why Mike bit him. Otherwise I don't know if it was a mental in so much as a lack of elite boxing skill.

Mike was an athletic mauler and decent boxer but he had one gear and didn't have the tools to switch up if he couldn't beat you to death.

Alot of New York fighters were like that. Physical specimens but rarely could implement a plan B or C. Take Zab for instance .

Nah, Zab had the same mental weaknesses Tyson had. It wasn’t their skills.

 

[Black Ball]

So Mike is 0-5. So that must mean Floyd and Marciano are both 0-0.

You don't think Floyd was ever tested or challenged in a fight?

 

[feelosofer]

Overrated, yea.

Mentally weak may depend on the context because he in the ring, at times. But it takes great fortitude to live the life Mike has lived and still be alive.

tyson started losin fights because he stopped training properly and didnt take boxing seriously. wasnt cause of the mental.

in between fights he was drinking, doin blow, and fukkin hoes left and right. boxing wasnt his main priority and there was no around to put him in check. it eventually caught up to him

give him a floyd mayweather level of disclipline and hes the greatest fighter ever
