Tucker at his best stands a chance, liked his win over Douglass, really competitive. I'd go with a prime Larry Holmes to take the late rounds and win a decision after getting up off the deck. But IMO Tyson's fall came before prison. With Ritchie Giachetti he managed to go the distance with Ruddock, but did an awful lot of blatant fouling resulting in point deductions because his style was compromised by his management pulling him away from his family/aka team. Without Teddy Atlas he still had Rooney, who really brought out the best, no yes man, like Teddy before Cus let him go.
With Kevin he still switch hit and got pulled back on track in between rounds if he strayed from the plan.


I remember Ritchie trying his hardest to get him on track in fight #2 with Ruddock "Mikey! You're looking for one shot and its no G-damn good!" My uncles' generation would say his fall came when he became Iron Mike Tyson.
Mighty Mike Tyson bobbed, weaved, switch-hit.
Iron Mike Tyson depended on that iron chin- took shots well, but needed power to win, And that lasts only 3-5 rounds.
