If 23 year old Mike Tyson wasn't in shape, then he wouldn't have lasted 10 rds with a 6'4" 231 lb man landing devastating straight rights on him all night long.
Folks should just get over making excuses for Mike Tyson's 1st loss...

That Tyson was not the same fighter that destroyed Berbick, Spinks, Biggs and others. There was very little head movement and his team were crap.Originally Posted by bradlee180

True, to add to it he had never tasted his own medicine either, no one was ever awake to try and serve it back till then.That Tyson was not the same fighter that destroyed Berbick, Spinks, Biggs and others. There was very little head movement and his team were crap.

Re: Great video of Greg Page knocking Tyson down 1990
Excuses, excuses.
The very nature of the sport means fighters going into a fight always have an injury or they're sick or there's a family problem or some other problem.
When they win while sick or injured, it doesn't seem to be a factor, but if they lose, people start with the excuses.
When the PRIME Mike Tyson knocked trevor berbick's brains out to claim his 1st title, Tyson was p!$$ing fire from The Clap which he picked up from some hoor somewhere. Didn't impact Tyson's performance nor preparation not one f*<kin' bit!
It doesn't matter.
For the Buster fight, Tyson was almost 24 years old, had been boxing since 12 years old, and knew the realities better than any fan of not coming in prepared. He knew his responsibilities as a fighter, and if you don't prepare, it's your @$$. People thought Tyson was invincible, but the man himself always knew better and knew he was just a man, and his own fears were inside since he was a kid, knowing these guys could tear him apart if he weren't prepared. He was ready for Douglas, you can bank on that.
If anything, it was Buster who had been sick, taking antihistamine medication for bronchitis.
Just a dude in blue.

Re: Great video of Greg Page knocking Tyson down 1990
I'm trying to decide if its more respectable and understandable that a Tyson like fighter fell off suddenly because they had one hard give and take war too many, he didn't, or that he just stopped trying and ran out of Tyrell biggs and Tony tubbs to smack aroundThat Tyson was not the same fighter that destroyed Berbick, Spinks, Biggs and others. There was very little head movement and his team were crap.

Re: Great video of Greg Page knocking Tyson down 1990
Watching some ESPN Classic of Tyson and there were many decent fighters that gave it a go, Tillis and Ferguson certainly were not intimidated. Buster probably was the best fighter he fought on that particular night he was exceptional, shame he never performed like that again. However Tyson nearly beat him but at his best I think he would have beaten Douglas convincingly.

Re: Great video of Greg Page knocking Tyson down 1990
He was way above fighting weight and took a crash diet to lose it
He came out lethargic and didn't seem to be focused ... he definitely wasn't in shape because he didn't lose the weight the proper way. But his heart and chin are what kept him up.
