    Not really. After Tysons initial onslaught both began to physically wear him out by using their size, only Tyson was in better condition against Williams than he was against McBride, regardless of the leg injury.

    I got you, I was just pointing out that Tarver could never use his size and girth to wear Tyson down like both McBride and Williams did after they made it through the opening stanzas. Tarver was just too small.

    Tarver KO1.

    No one stands up to the kind of raw explosiveness Tarver brings to the table as he commits to every punch and the volume begins to take its toll. He walks through everything Tyson has to offer with zero regard for his punching power and with every punch in the book and some that aren't, his offensive diversity commences to breaking all of Tyson's facial bones and shoves his nasal cartilage through his brain, instantly destroying him and putting him out of his misery for good.

    Then Tarver wakes up and realizes it was all a dream and has a bowl of lucky charms to start his day and watches cartoons. Same day, Tyson eats a live jaguar and sodomizes a reporter who asks him if he thinks he could even beat a pretty good light heavyweight anymore.

    Tyson would have brutally ko'ed Tarver in a fight that would have proved nothing.

    Even a washed up Tyson would ko Tarver early.

    Tyson quit in his last two bouts ... he was in poor shape, basically a five minute fighter ... after that he simply quit. Tyson had taken many bombs from Lewis , he did not get out by Williams, he simply packed it in .. his last match was far worse.

    Tyson by no later than the 3rd round. Tarver does not have the frame to do business with Iron Mike.
