Patterson was another one of Cus' fighters and he learned his lesson...Also, notice how Tyson never fought a Lou Duva trained fighter? (well Holyfield, but that was well after Lou was gone same with Golota)...Lou knew exactly how to beat Tyson and that's why Duva was calling Mike out like crazy...
I don't think he wanted any of Tua, maybe Mercer either, but MORRISON?! Now, Tommy was a gutsy guy with pop, but chinny too. Mike woulda eaten him alive.
Not saying Morrison beats Tyson, but the style was dangerous and the Tyson camp knew it...Put it this way, why would Mike Tyson turn down the first $100 million dollar purse to fight Morrison if it would have been easy?...Remeber the Morrison camp was calling for a fight and Mike "dismissed" them, why? to face Buster Douglas?!?!?
Tyson and Morrison were set to fight dude.

But Morrison got HIV. NOT JOKING!


You guys are going to crazy with this "TYSON DUCKED!" stuff.

Tyson also ducked the guy who worked at the gas station too. heh
YEAH BUT BET ROY JONES WOULD OF FOUGHT THE GUY FROM THE GAS STATION OR THE POSTMAN OR LOCAL ROADSWEEPER HA HA
