Tyson was shot his reflexes gone hisheart was long gone !!

Tyson in that fight had one chance and that was to set upon Lewis from the start and hopefully be able to bull him onto the ropes the way Rahman did and find some power .

He tried that in the 1st round but soon as Lewis found his range and timing and got that beautifull jab going it was game over

Lewis kept him off balance with the jab and threatening right hand Tyson apart from not having the reflexes nor the state of mind or belief had just completely lost his legs also .

Tyson spent so long eating the jab and having to think about what use to come naturally

I think Lewis never lived up to expectation he was so frustrating his conditioning was always suspect i think he would always have had the style to give even a prime Tyson trouble .

Tyson in his prime was such poetry in motion i dont think you could ever see better footwork from aheavyweight the way he closed that gap and could slip under a jab was brilliant and proof that he was more than just the wild slugger .

Douglas would have given a prime Tyson trouble maybe not beaten but his jab was also a prime weapon and thats what you needed against MT even then though it wasnt enough


Tyson was a supreme fighting machine before Jail

Afterwards he was dangerous but not the same .
