    Tyrell Biggs...was he really all that good in the first place or did Tyson just make a mess of him for good?They seemed to throw him to the wolves after.

    Biggs got busted open a couple of times pre Tyson, indeed I think he was in danger of losing the Bey fight, because of a horrific cut.

    That said, going in, this fight was given all the hype, with the American Magazines calling it the Ali/Frazier of the 80s.

    As it turned out, Tyson was better than Frazier and Biggs was better than.... Lorenzo Boyd!

    I always got the feeling that they had so many fish in the kettle coming out of the 84' Olympics,they had to focus on the best of the best and sort of cut bait on Biggs.Saw he was not up to par.He tried the jabbing off bit but Tyson just put it on him harshly.Great Team that was with Holyfield,Sweet Pea,Taylor,etc.

    Ive seen Tyson come off sounding like he carried Biggs so he could prolong the punishment.Sounds like they had a genuine dislike for one another.Brutal.
