​@@kforcer It happened a few times. Before he lost to Douglas, a good percentage of fighters that made it past 6 with him did it by hugging most of the fight. Quick Tillis probably did the best against him in his early fights. He definitely had weaknesses. Anyone with reach that actually bothered to keep him at a distance with the jab gave him trouble. Everyone writes Buster Douglas off as a fluke, but he was a decent boxer, had a huge reach advantage, and a good jab. Lennox Lewis is another example. The other is if he runs up against someone who can take his punches, because after 20 fights or so he started to eat a lot of shots diving in the way he would. He had a great chin. You can't come up with a lot of singular shots that hurt him, but he would wear down over time if he got caught enough times.

@@gabrielsteffensen3700 Tucker, Spinks and Ruddock were his biggest wins. I don't count Holmes because he was over the hill and retired. Its not really Tyson's fault he did not have more big name wins (he literally fought everyone avaible), but a lot of the best fighters of the 80's derailed their careers with drugs, lawsuits and stupidity. He should have had great fights with Tim Witherspoon, Michael Dokes and Tony Tubbs but Witherspoon was out of the picture for multiple reasons and Tubbs was fat as a pig when they fought. Dokes was a crackhead. Tyson's strongest opponent was always going to be Holyfield who was unifying the cruiserweight belts at the same time Tyson was unifying the heavyweight belts. By the time Evander had moved up and moved into the #1 contender spot Tyson got KO'd by Buster Douglas and then went to prison. So that shot the Holyfield fight all to hell. If not for the loss to Douglas and the prison stint, we would have got a legendary trilogy with Tyson and Holyfield from 1990-1992. I imagine Evander would have shocked Mike in the first fight because he was getting sloppy and bored with his career. Evander was primed and ready and way better that Tyson or anyone else realized. And Evander knew how to fight Tyson and was not intimidated.

Tyson's discipline and focus is what made him who he was. He wasn't exceptionally strong or tall or fast as far as high caliber boxers go - but he was very, very disciplined and focused. No jerry curl, no fancy robes, no hype, no showboating - nothing that would subtract energy from him. Even after he wins, he's commenting how he's not happy because he's less than perfect, and he hasn't achieved his goal of perfection. That's what differentiated Tyson from other high caliber boxers.

Tony Tucker was a great fighter and was extremely underappreciated. What amazes me about Tyson at this young age is how low he goes to avoid a punch. He ducks and bends his knees to the point of his head being less than a meter from the canvas. After prison he stopped ducking so low. His power was still there, but his defense and speed were not the same.

Maybe Tyson had two broken hands and two broken legs.

CRAZY how they spent so much time building up the Spinks fight and this man TUCKER did way better than Spinks 😂😂😂

One of the better opponents of tyson. And now you can see what happens, that tyson suddenly is no longer the ko machine when his opponent is not frightend to death our just to weak. Imagine prime Holyfield or Lewis in this fight. Even the Mercer from the Lewis fight would be a very very tough fight for mike in his prime. Nothing against mikes achievements, but you have to put them in relation to a weak era of boxing. Die hard Tyson fans always overlook this.He was a really great boxer in his prime, but far away from the indestructible monster they wanna made him.

@@bamaraffle8785 yeah absolute bullshit.. This is one of Tysons best wins, altho it seems he's on the slide here. Not really listening to Rooneys, walking in straight lines, minimal combination punching. Not to mention a fighter should be DQ for such excessive clinching. This is boxing, not wrestling/clinching, clinching is essentially a bail out " I can't do anyhting right now or you'll KO me so I'm gonna lean all my weight on you and take a breather".. Refs should do the job and penalise this shit. Tyson beat Tucker clearly, not very impressively.. Whereas Lennox beat a shot Tucker who had zero footwork at the time... .

In all the minutes of the fight, the referee tried to give Tucker time. Poor Tucker 😂😂😂

Proofing my point 37:37 if a heavyweight today who's much taller than tubbs landed that punch it would be bad for mike, would still be a challenge for guys today to fight prime mike though

I had it exactly the same as Larry Merchant 8-3-1 but disagreed about which rounds were which. The official scorecards we're a bit weird, a bunch of even rounds.

Guy must be clinically insane. Who in their right mind would keep going against Tyson one-handed?!

Tony Tucker was one of the most underated heavyweight fighters of his time and one of the few fighters who had no fear of Tyson and managed to hurt him in the fight. TNT also showed that a good jab and lateral movement with height was the way Tyson could be defeated. TNT was a genuine likable good guy. Tyson's stamina, speed and power was too much in the end.

Thank you mummy

Tucker also was a great fighter before doing drugs he really gives tyson a big problem at that fight even though he has a broken right hand but i believe tyson was too good for tucker at that night But im shock when tucker rocks tyson at 1st round

This one lasts longer than most of Iron Mikes fights

Man, Tony Tucker was really getting ripped off.

Tucker sure gave Iron Mike some problems in this fight you didnt see that to often!!

Look up Gene Kim or Robert breaker

Let's get it on! Mills Lane classic

it just proves that height doesn’t matter

The only man whom I think, actually had what it TAKES to stand toe-to-toe with him back in Mike's most dominant era when he became the champ was Tony Tucker... If Tucker hadn't suffered a serious hand injury on that very night back in '87, there was a VERY REAL possibility that Tyson might've lost his title in the same year that he earned it!

Lewis was an amateur about to fight in the Olympics and Holyfield was fighting at cruiserweight, and wouldn’t fight for a heavyweight title for another 3 years.

Toughest fight for Mike. Solid boxer with better reach. Later when Mike got out of his prime and better boxers came with longer reach like Holyfield and Lewis, Mike was done. Tucker was better opponent than Spinks.

Tucker has my eternal respect. Dude fought prime Tyson far better than most.

@@FirstLast-yc9lq Bullshit. It was an overrated punch.He couldn't knock down Tyson.At least Tyson hadn't glass- chin but McCall destroyed Lewis in the second round easily.This Mcall lost to Tucker,Bruno and couldn't ko a very old Holmes. It was funny when the featherfisted Mccall destroyed Lewis easily, debunked the shit out of Lewis..

I fully believe that Tony Tucker was in VERY GOOD shape for that fight back in '87, and he was fully well capable of beating Mike in the late rounds. But as fate would have it, he was only held back back by a stupid hand injury which he suffered while training/prepping on the day before... He was mostly fighting with his left hand throughout that fight, cuz it seemed like his right hand was BROKEN. I fergot what round it was exactly, but at point Tony managed to hit Mike like clean on the chin with a good strong powerful uppercut that appeared to have ROCKED him back a few steps. Not too many opponents were actually able to land such good clean hits on Mike back then when he was still in his prime. If Tucker's right hand was NOT injured that night, he prolly would've been able to connect with alot more hits like that to punish Mike whenever made a mistake; and if those hits all landed perfectly then Mike would've been in SERIOUS trouble. I speculate that it would've looked just like the Buster Douglas fight that eventually came 3 years later! 🤔

Sugar Ray was the only guy in the world who saw this as close. He was ready to hit his knees for Tucker b/c he’d had a good 1st round. He was dominated by Tyson.

This damn near was the Lenox Lewis blueprint.. no cap.. Lewis Perfected it and tyson was going downhill at that point as well.

People saying how great tucker did in this fight, and all I can think about is how Mike advanced on him throughout this entire bout. Think about that for just a second.. not one single time did Tucker step towards Mike. He was in reverse “so to speak” the whole time backing up, while Mike steadily came in literally throughout the entire fight. I’ll say that Tony Tucker did better than the previous men that Mike walked through. But he’s nothing to praise. Not being rude just being real.

Tucker wasn't boxing, he was holding and running.

That's just where Spinks should be,he cowered against mike terribly. He just wanted the payday. He didn't even try.I lost so much respect for Spinks after the Tyson fight.not because he lost.but because of his lack of effort.after me saying that he was the best light heavyweight champion other than Bob Foster I'd ever saw...I lost Lot's of faith in him as a man after not even trying against mike.

Mike knocked all Tucker's Jheri Curl out so Tucker left with an afro. I hope there were no eye injuries due to this.
