    Sure tactics matter. You dont outgun Tyson, you outmaneuver him. It's almost become cliche that Holyfield wouldn't have fought the same fight in 88, 89, 90 or 91 that he fought in 96. Frazier had the biggest set of steely b alls that any fighter had and it didn't help him against Foreman. Different fights and different fighters between the two sets, but the brawl happy Holyfield of the late 80's early 90's was a far different fighter and wouldn't have implemented the Brooks game plan. Not saying he wasn't capable of doing it, though.

    Oh and Tyson is all wrong for Lewis :deal

    Here you go fukko! At the 2:00 mark the interviewer asks Holyfield who hit him the hardest. At the 3:47 mark he asks Holyfield about Tyson's power.

    And as we saw Douglas was all wrong for Tyson as well.

    Well to each his own, but I'm not a fan of criticising a fighters WINS, that strikes me as just hating.

    It' like saying Tyson struggled with Ruddock twice and Lewis walked through him like butter, but does that really matter? both won.

    And when Lewis did lose he at least avenged his losses, something Tyson was incapable of doing.

    Oh come on now Van Halen! You're waaaay too easy to bait. I can't even joke around about Lennox without you chiming in before I even finish the damn joke! We all know Tyson never got his rematch with Douglas.

    Wass owned. nice to see. Wass has some weird obsession/hate for Tyson combo. going on. Most people post once or twice in a Tyson thread....Wass so many, but predictable, posts.

    Toying with this kid is just too easy. She's probably a fat chick with small teets. Nothing against them, but, you know...
