    That's part true, part folkore. Tyson wasn't as aggressive as in past fights but he was certainly pressing the fight in the first couple of rounds. He was more pensive & confused than lethargic at that point though, due to Douglas' tactics. If you watch it again, you'll realize that Douglas fought an amazing fight and used the tactics I discussed above, that the little guys wouldn't have been able to pull off.

    Watch how Douglas fights in the first few rounds of the Tyson fight and then watch how JJW and Charles fight in their fights against Marciano. Douglas is a far, far more difficult opponent for a short slugger.

    I wonder what Walcott and Moore thought of Tyson both lived long enough to see him.

    I cat even say past prime Tyson with a straight face regarding anything pre prison.

    But unmotivated Tyson is definitely more than past prime Charles or Moore can handle.

    I think Moore said that he migth be the GOAT at one point.

    I think someone like Michael Spinks can run the gauntlet against Marciano's title fight opposition, let alone Mike Tyson.
