“I don't know. Maybe with some of us, he would have performed well, and with others — poorly. You know, it's hard for me to watch how he dominates in this era.
Fights were different back then, you know? The main thing was to fight aggressively. A boxer didn't have many dividends, not many rights, if he found himself in the ring with an aggressive fighter whom the judges awarded more points. Even if the aggressor missed more, he dictated the course of the fight, so he won the rounds. The main thing was the brightness.
If you're a bright fighter, you attract more spectators to the arena, you are a leader. You can be the greatest fighter in the world, but if you're boring, no one will want to watch you. You can beat everyone, but no one will want to watch your fights, and you will remain boring,” Tyson said in an interview with Hard Rock Bet.
