Patterson was too short to make a mark in the division among the greats, a fate Mike Tyson suffered as well. Pattersons reach was below average for his height (shorter reach than his own height)
Tyson isn't really a classical swarmer. So it's not even certain he would get inside Ali's range at all.. It could end up like Ali-Patterson... All that power but no clean hits.
I said that even back then. He's not a big puncher by boxing standards at all and I could tell just by his bag work. I'm glad that he's man enough to admit it now.
My boxing coach was big on relaxation at all times and claimed this would improve my reflexes. We had a pad holder who complained that I hit too hard and thrvinstructor said that I would punch even harder relaxed. It was a mantra of his, clearly:)
I think Kickboxers, Nakmuay and MMA guys...
He did? What I remember from the press conference was a very friendly atmosphere where Tilis said to Tyson: you hit harder than shavers!
