    Alan post prison Buster Douglas beat Tyson and during his prime didnt beat anyone that was great and that was still in there prime. Tyson lost all his big fights and during his prime beat mostly bums so i dont see how he can be consider so great there no solid proof of it for me dude because him competion was weak in prime when he fought the top guys of his era he lost.

    That is incorrect?

    The debatable Buster Douglas fight in Japan , was due to Don King coming into the scene, Mike getting into the fight overweight and under trained, and the beginning of Mike when he began his slide into obscurity and boxing history

    After Buster Douglas, the great Mike Tyson was no more. Buster did not defeat Mike, Mike did it all on his own

    Alan,

    Alan,
    Buster Douglas DID defeat Mike, it remains one of the greatest shows of will I have seen. Douglas' mother had died shortly before the fight & it motivated him to give the performance of his life, he just would not be denied that night.

    Also you've said that Foreman was the only HW that could beat Tyson. You do realize that people win fights on decision, it's not like they just keep fighting until someone gets KO'd. With how good his chin & recovery was, I'm convinced that Ali would have beaten him, Tyson thrived on people being afraid to impose themselves on him, Ali wasn't intimidated by anyone.

    Alan,
    Not to mention the supremely stellar work by the corner .I mean,who could blame Mike for not knowing the difference between a water bottle and an end-swell.

    they could of used an entire ice cube tray....Mike was getting KTFO that night.

    Let's not take anything away from Buster, he looked really good vs Tyson and it wasn't only because Tyson didn't train hard enough or because Tyson had the 3 stooges in his corner....how the hell does Aaron Snowell still get work?
