    It's been a while but despite being stopped in the end, didn't Tyson win pretty much every round?

    The worst fight of Tyson's I've ever seen was against McBride.

    The late Tyson I still considered a dangerous and aggressive puncher but the Tyson of that fight was saddening to watch for me.

    Yes Tyson wobbled Danny countless times, Tyson ripped his ACL in his knee, fat Danny leaned all over him, Tyson tired and faded badly and lay there.

    Sad outcome, Tyson should have won that one.

    Even against McBride he was up before he quit too.

    Can't really put any stock in those losses. I thought he looked pretty destructive actually against Etienne.

    I think ppl tend to underrate the late Tyson a bit. He was no longer the world beater to be sure, but he was still a force to be reckoned with until the very end, not just any Joe could topple him. Danny and McBride were big guys who got the wins under highly unusual circumstances.

    If Tyson won against Danny, he was lined to fight Vitali. So it was a good thing he lost as Vitlai would batter him like Lennox did. He was a shell of a fighter.

    Tyson was dangerous early on, hence why he destroyed Ettienne.

    Not underrated. Tyson fought half of the fight as a lame... he should have retired on his stool, rather than get knocked out. But, Tyson was never one to quit a fight as easily as that.

    Old Tyson was "underrated" He was a shell by and after the Lewis fight, I think a lot of guys could have beaten him if they made it past the first couple rounds.

    Against Williams, knee injury or not he still punched himself out. If anything Williams probably underperformed being brought in as a lamb and given peanuts, once he got some confidence he was hurting Tyson and muscling him around. McBride was probably what you imagine a great opponent in Muhammad Ali's era would have been though, right Max He had like 70 pounds on former punch bag champions, after all.

    I think that Tyson would have lost to James Toney that beat Holyfield and if Ettienne had survived past 4 rounds he may have beaten Tyson too. He simply was not the same fighter, which is why his defeat to Lewis was no big deal.
