About Tyson being a beast. Often people don’t realise that Tyson is not merely a brawler relying on brute strength. Watch the fights of his younger days, his bobbing and weaving skills are textbook style. I regard him as one of the top ‘peak a boo’ technicians in the history of boxing. So it would be a mistake to think that boxers only exchange blows toe to toe, they are experts at evasion. Also who can forget Ali whose evasive footwork was described as floating like a butterfly.
Internal arts talk about looseness. However many boxers that I have trained with are much looser than some taiji exponents. For some taiji exponents, just because they are moving slowly and their technics are soft they think that they have achieved ‘sung’.
