Tyson couldn't beat a 37 year old Lewis and a 34 year old Holyfield with lots of wear and tear, what makes you think he can beat the best versions of them?
And this whole crap about Mike Tyson past his prime at 23 years old with minimal wear and tear in the Douglas fight is another long line of excuses.
Everyone has peaks that was his, Lewis was when he was older, Benitez was young so was Vargas why do you find it hard to accept that was not his peak. My peak was 21 or down hill from there for me.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
