Tyson lost because he show zero head movement.
How many head shots will an inspired Douglas actually land on Ali or even Pre-Liston Clay? Not many. I don't care how motivated Douglas is.
Ali would pick Douglas apart and take Douglas out of his zone. What I mean is, Buster Douglas became even more confident against Tyson as the fight progressed. That won't happen after 5 rounds of punching air against Ali. Just because Douglas was inspired doesn't automatically mean he was unbeatable. He just caught the right opponent on the right night.
