Ultimately it's a self fufilling prophecy, a fighter loses, there is ALWAYS a reason or excuse.

But imo Tyson was destoyed by Douglas in his prime. I mean how old was Tyson then? 26?

No way you could argue he was past it.
Yeah your right. Its becasue Tyson was blatantly under prepared/ motivated that is kinda distracting me from that fact that he WAS only infact 24!

Although (and yes i didn't make myself clear at all...) my argument only applies to the debate of 'great' heavyweights and their 'great' victories.
