I miss Tyson

[Bobthepen]

Like it or not Tyson was wiping out opponents who could just about win rounds against him and people were counting significant punches landing on Tyson. Holmes did not give Tyson any problems he was destroyed, this Holmes have Holyfield hell and beat the undefeated Mercer. The point I am making is that Tyson destroyed his opponents with ease and did not struggle with them as certain champions have been. These fighters were good fighters too. Tyson’s peak was way too short and only he is to blame for that.

Tyson didn't destroy Tillis, and he struggled with Tucker until Tucker broke his hand in the fourth. Pinklon Thomas had a lot of success with the jab and caused Mike problems.

Tyson destroyed mediocrity.


Holmes had been retired for two years, and should have had a tune up or three prior to facing Tyson.

Tyson did not struggle with Tucker, Tony landed one meaningful shot in the first 30 seconds the upper cut, then he took a beating. Thomas was battered in the first round and then the 6th when he was knocked out. Tyson was a head all the time.

I, along with Larry Merchant, had Thomas winning rounds 3, 4 and 5. I gave Tucker a few of the early rounds, and I would certainly not say he was having it easy. Had Tucker not broken his right hand it might have been interesting, as he caught Mike repeatedly with that uppercut.

Neither Thomas nor Tucker are rated highly though, which is the point. Mike was good, but found his level when he stepped up ie knocked out.

Tucker wasn't rated highly?

He was a ripped 6.5" unbeaten title holder.....

Who was outboxed by an out of shape Buster Douglas for nine rounds before he was able to turn it around in the tenth.

That was the best we saw of Douglas outside the Tyson fight. He also looked good against McCall as well.

At 228 lbs Douglas was actually in supreme shape for that fight and looked motivated. You would know that if you actually watched it.

Tucker was undefeated post Tyson until Lewis who he fought when he was past it. He would be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world today. His career was mismanaged and he fell into drug usage.

Such good shape he turned up against Tyson 8lbs lighter.

In what is otherwise a good, back-and-forth Tyson argument.... here is where it splats against the wall. An "out of shape Buster Douglas"?? The Tyson fight was probably the only time Buster Douglas ever got in as good a shape, mentally and physically. Did you by any chance happen to see the Douglas who fought Holyfield after having defeated Tyson? That..... was an out-of-shape Buster Douglas.

If you re-read the post, I was referring to Douglas v Tucker, not the shape Douglas was in against Tyson.

Yes Douglas was a disgrace...he was unmotivated....due to knowing he was an overnight millionaire (around $25 million he was paid I think)......the dog had his day against Tyson and did very well thank you. Douglas laid down like a cheap Las Vegas tart and got paid



job biscuit (u get the message)!!!



eh eh!!!
