You better be aware, knowing Tyson the way I do, power doesn’t disappear when you’re old. He’s still got speed, combinations. He’s still got that style that he was taught to make you miss and create openings for that power. He still has that, where he can weave, slip, create the openings to unload a bomb on your chin and get you out of there.Teddy Atlas via THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas
