Yep absoluitely - same as Tyson's have. But, as you know, these losses shouldn't be considered, the same way as nobody doubts Ali's prime, just because he losts to Spinks and Berbwick.
You know i was looking at that Greg Page vs Mike Tyson sparring footage again, before the Buster Douglas fight. This one had a bit more footage and Greg Page easily hits Mike Tyson, with a solid right hand and seems to be troubling him, before the knockdown.

Im just wondering was it how good Buster Douglas was, or how bad Mike Tyson was. I actually think a motivated Witherspoon, Page, would of upset Mike Tyson that night aswell.

Because both were making comebacks in the 90's, and actually got motivated again. And both fighters always had a sturdy chin and very good natural ability, more so than Douglas IMO.
