Was Mike Tyson a swarmer or slugger type boxer ?

[WillieWild114]

What was his boxing style ? Did he have 2 ?

[R-Hand Southpaw]

Aggressive counter puncher

His style changed after gus died and he went to prison. Peekaboo is extemely taxing on the body because of the footwork and pace.

It only looks like he needed to swarm because he was considerably smaller than most if not all his opponents.

I would have to agree with this assessment. Tyson was a all around better fight when Cus was alive but his style was different than most heavyweights we see because he was so small in stature compared to others. Aggressive counter puncher suits him best I think.

He's a swarmer. Shawn Porter fights like a mini mike tyson that lacks ko power.

When I saw your title, I knew that you were going to be a person who joined this forum this year lol

My counter questions are: Do you know who Tyson is and do you have eyes?

Tyson is/was not a counter puncher at all, which is why he had terrible trouble with that style

Aggressive counter puncher.

Just because somebody is not moving, backwards does not mean 'They are a slugger'.

Mike Tyson's fighting style was highly sophisticated.

Not really and he was by no means a counter puncher. At all

Marquez is a counterpuncher but got handled by Mayweather

[GrandpaBernard]

Mike was a counterpuncher according to himself in the biography he wrote about Cus

Peakaboo makes them miss and pay. That counterpunching
