A specimen. I have not seen a HW ANYWHERE near him in terms of the above mentioned attributes. Guys like Lewis who made their names of beating Tyson would not have lasted 6 rounds with peak Tyson.
  The decline began when he split from the Catskill connection, you can see how lazy he looked in the Douglas fight and coupled with Douglas being AMAZING on the night, you can see why he lost. I would not say Tyson laced testicular fortitude(it was more mental breakdown!) He showed plenty of heart in the first Holyfield fight and in the fights with Rodduck. I just wish he had remained stable and we would be discussing an all time great right nowÂ
ive stayed out of this thread because im a little tired of saying the same things about tyson....

so instead the game for a very convincing argument...
