I think he learned to cope with speed better over the next couple years.. They say ever fighter becomes 50% better when they win their first world title anyways.. It's also worth noting that I seem to remember Tyson had Tillis in big trouble in the last round, he may have very well got the KO if it had gone on another 30 seconds, in a 12 round fight he would have imo..
Just seems like when anyone gives Tyson hard fight its down to past his prime and actually Tillis also hit Tyson with good shots at end of 10th this is reason why i don't think he would beat prime Holmes or prime Ali because they were smart enough and quick enough to dance jab move and tie Tyson up imo anyway im not saying Tyson isn't good he had great talent in his prime no doubt but i feel he is overrated and would lose to a stick and move type fighter.
