As old and shot as Tyson was in this vid, he still has good footwork and technique. I wish he would become a trainer. I think he woukd be good at it if he could keep his temper under control.
I think he has very little interest being involved with boxing. He could probably make more doing colour commentary than as a trainer and he doesn't even want to bother with that.
True. Although I think it would spark tons of peoples interest to see him train young fighters to fight with his style. Id give my left nut for it actually.

There aren't a lot of guys with the physical toolset that the successful execution of that style is contingent on.
Correct. Just like Willie Pep didn't do well as a trainer even though he knew more about defense than anyone else. Unique style demands rare attributes
Nah, this is a cool vid. In light of the pedestrian, boring ass heavyweight class, even Mike in this disinterested sparring session looks more skillful than a lot of the heavyweights fighting today. That is what makes it cool. I would go as far as to say how this sparring session has more skill and entertainment than Klitschko/Haye, Klitschko/Chisora and almost any other boring ass out there today. Granted, the Klits don't have to use much skill to combat the cans they're fighting these days. I prefer Mike beating this can who is still active.

Yeah, I saw that. It's amazing how he's not even throwing bombs, yet, he's still rocking this guy with virtually every shot.
