    BULL****. :bart

    When Tinkerbell STUMBLED up like a weeble-wobble from the Douglas KO in Round 10, he was wobbling on JELLY-LEGS, was grabbed by teh ref, then grabbed by his boyfriend Snowell, then aided backed to teh dressing room with each arm supported by his yes-men's shoulders like a wounded-solider. And Aaron Snowell himself confirmed Tyson asked him, a couple MINUTES AFTER it was all over, if he had been stopped!! :deal

    VS Holyfield in Round 11, Tyson was being knocked accross teh ring by Evander's cracking combos (which imo were better And faster than Bummy's) - But IMMEDIATELY after teh ref stepped in, stopping it by TKO, Tyson was 100% stable And balanced on his feet, protesting to teh ref about being stopped when he wanted to fight on!! :deal

    Tokyo Tyson has always been underrated because Tokyo Douglas is extremely underrated. What a fantastic fighter putting it all together.

    :rofl

    Perhaps Tyson's worst moment ever. The fight doesnt even compare... Sure, he was getting smacked about by a 42-1 UD but he was taking those shots like a true Champ with serious mandible capabilities.

    I sum it up like this: I can't remember anymore but I recall hearing that the mouthpiece he put in at the end of the fight was Buster's. He was knocked senseless for a second but reflex still had him putting in his mouthpiece to keep trying to fight. That is a commendable trait in any boxer. Even if it was his piece and not Buster's it still shows incredible heart/drive/whatever you want to call it.

    I think that the 1996 Tyson was in better physical condition than the one who got blitzed by Douglas,but the 1990 version was better,overall,than the '96 one.

    Both Douglas and Holyfield would have even given the 1988 Tinkerbell hell though.

    OK at least we half agree anyway m8. :thumbsup

    Here is my ANALySis of teh diff Tinkerbells compared -

    1996 Tyson is Better @ -

    Hand-speed
    Xplosiveness
    Headmovements
    Foot-speed
    RefleXes
    Stamina
    Combos
    Workrate
    Head-hunting
    Body-banging
    Rough-housing
    Physical conditioning
    Corner-healing capabilities (en-swell)


    Tokyo Tyson is Better @ -

    Heart
    Corner-comedy capabilities (rubber-johnny + tap water = schoolboy-hilarity)


    AGREE :deal - esp Holyfeild who from 1990-1999 would beat ANY Tinkerbell. :thumbsup

    - except the for miserable heart-attack version from teh 1st Mikey Moorer fight.

    No, the point is, he got up and despite being on cloud 9 and physically unable to continue, his natural instincts were to fight on.

    Against Holyfield, he had no desire, despite being perfectly able to

    Douglas beat the **** out of Tyson from round 1, Holyfield really started laying out some leather in the last couple of rounds.

    Tokyo Tyson greater than 96 Tyson
