    Yes. Tyson lacked his normal head movement and overall style. He underestimated Douglas. He walked in straight lines rather than using the peek a boo style that helped make him. Foreman just went in and did what he always did which was punch like a mf. Douglas beat an under trained unmotivated Tyson. Ali just beat Foreman as he always was, which was great against anyone not name Ali.
