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,
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.
