We all know that the Buster Douglas fight was the biggest upset in boxing history and we all know he could never duplicate that feat from that night in Tokyo. And Tyson STILL put him down with an uppercut in the 8th, almost unraveling all of Douglas' work. Douglas caught lightning in a bottle that night ... he was motivated and focused like never before and trained like it was the fight of his life. Mike foolishly thought he took an easy fight in Douglas and was in vacation mode in Japan. He went on a crash diet of nothing but soup and was visibly lethargic from the start of the fight. Tyson's corner was the only thing more unprepared than him that night.
Not to mention the personal problems he had outside of the ring during that time.
