So you're sayin Seldon and Bruno were given those titles specifically so that later on down the road Tyson could knock them out and take them? Dunno bout that. IMO he woulda  done the same to Michael Moore if he had the belts, Shannon Briggs if he had a belt, Tommy Morrison for his WBO belt if he wanted it and possibly Bid Daddy Bowe. The last one being the toughest fight and one Mike might have lost.
You're saying Seldon wasn't an easy fighter to beat? He's a scaredy cat
You're saying Bruno wasn't shot by that time? Tyson beat him in 1989 and was Frank any better in 1996?

Michael Moore? The film maker? Yeah I'm sure Tyson could have beat him

Michael Moorer? I don't know, at the time before Foreman KO'd him Moorer was pretty good, he beat Holyfield...more than Iron Mike can say.

Briggs before he lost to Lewis would have been tough, Morrison would have been tough for him, Bowe would have been tough for him. Tyson came back and DK wanted him to look invincible to pull more money for a fight vs Holyfield.
