    In the Tyson film he said he had asthma so was glad his fights ended early.

    But if we actually look at the evidence, the first time Tyson showed signs of stamina issues was vs Holyfield in 96'

    :deal

    Once he left Rooney he was no longer the disciplined boxer he once was and relied way to much on intimidation ..

    Yeah but here started declining by then as you saw how his career ended .

    When he was those guys he fought more frequently and trained harder

    true his decline was obvious but he was never a 4 rounder or 6 rounder fighter even later his career.

    You couldnt say stamina was his main problem, i always associated mike tyson with a high workrate which is evident in his prime.

    6 round fighter who won every single fight that went the distance?

    And only lost 3 times past round 8

    The reason he lost badly to Douglas aside from Douglas impressive performance, game plan and Tyson's own lack of preperation and training was the fact he was out of gas.

    Tyson didn't have stamina issue. with the elites he was often forced to fight the full 15 rounds, and still won each time using the same style.
