To answer your question one must answer Tysons style. The Peek A Boo
He's a shorter heavyweight who had to face guys with significant reach/height advantage.
He's always needed to get to the inside fast in order to do damage.
His famous left right left right flawlessly dodging his opponents strikes only to deliver a vicious hook or overhand.
Not all boxers employ this style, and "speed" of a boxer can mean a few things.
Either in footwork/head movement as we see Tyson do so often.
Or in the overall speed of their strikes.
To answer the question, yes i'm still impressed with the way a 50 yr old heavyweight is moving.
Yes he still has the touch of death, even if his strikes are a bit slower.
Speed gets hard countered by timing so as long as his fight IQ is sharp he's gonna do fine.
He's no Lomachenko but he's also a 50 yr old heavyweight.
best answer so far, tyson can still sleep anyone if he gets them, the mans going to go down in history as one of the best punchers to live.
