He beat Ruddock easily despite not using his earlier skills. Tillis was beaten handily and was an early opponent. Douglas was beaten by Tucker and yet beat Tyson easily. It does indicate a lack of training.

Prime Tyson beat Holmes and early. Nobody else did that. Lewis beat Tucker but was outboxed more than Tyson but when Tucker was far older.

2nd Ruddock fight was tough probably Tysons 3rd hardest fight of his career and i didn't really see any difference between the 86 to 88 version and 91 version its all nonsense that he had become headhunter if thats true then why did he break Ruddocks ribs ?? imo there wasn't really any difference its just Ruddock wasn't scared he came to fight and he was a bit unorthdox with his punches because he threw wild hooks shame he never worked on his jab Tillis was not beaten handily Tyson said himself the knockdown saved him and even though i don't like Tyson he doesn't normally bs about his opponents prime Tyson beat washed up inactive yes inactive that means not facing anyone for warm ups atleast when Tyson fought Holyfield he had warm up fights vs champions Holmes didn't plus he only had 2 weeks to train and Holmes still made good account of himself he was even all the way with Tyson until the knockdown as i said about Tucker that was prolly Tuckers best performance of his whole career yet Lewis still dropped him twice something Tyson couldn't do and it wasn't like Tucker was fading it or past it that i can recall anyway.
