‘When Mike was young, he was the most devastating heavyweight I’ve ever seen in my life. And he still brings a certain rage, intensity, and punching power that no other heavyweight brings into the ring. Tyson is very dangerous when he gets inside. And he’s particularly dangerous with short punches. He does a great job with those little short arms once he gets in close. And Tyson is a smart fighter. He doesn’t just go in there and throw wild punches. He knows where his punches are going and gets in good position. He does something that’s really beautiful. He doesn’t take just one step to throw a punch. Sometimes, he’ll take two steps to get into position to throw a punch. He waits until he gets right under you and then, when you hold your hands out, he knows how to go up in between them.’
– Emanuel Steward
