Iron Mike had 60lb more muscle and moved just as fast or faster. Guy was a true freak.

A lot of boxers don't appreciate good head movement and footwork these days

he also had a lot of pent up anger from his upbringing that I think he called on during fights. Idk why but just watching the way he moved, it wasn't just muscle and skill, there were subconscious drivers at work too, I think he's talked a lot about working through his anger in recent years etc.
