Swarmers are also known for their strong chin which allows them to absorb quick jabs of the opponent.

Probably the most feared boxer ever born Mike Tyson often used to Intimidate his opponents even before the start of the match. Standing only at 5'11'' he proved to the world that size does not matter. He reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion and holds the record of the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title.

Evander Holyfield proved to be his nemesis who defeated him twice which includes the famous biting incident in their second clash. In his prime days Mike Tyson was unstoppable. In his first 19 fights he won 12 fights by knockout in the first round itself. He had a troubled personal life which also affected his game in the last stage of his career. After he was outclassed by Lennox Lewis it became evident that Mike Tyson was no more the same fighter as he was before.
