    He did make heavweight history alright - for participating in the worst heavyweight tile fight ever.
    That was ok as a carnival freak-show, but no way was it a boxing match......I think you recognise this yourself ...with your 'regardless of what happens in the rest of his career' comment....interesting character Tyson but no way is this the dawn of a new era or anything like it. He'll soon be gone....a one-day wonder really is what he will be looked back as.

    Wasn't as bad as you make it out to be, certainly no classic obviously.

    Any update on how Spikes prep is going? Andys too? Their dates with destiny are coming closer.

    If Lukekiko is around maybe he could fill us in....I'm sure lots of guys out there besides me must be curious....

    Glad to hear it Dutchie.
    No doubt Andy is a lot more disciplined than BJS (pretty much everyone is!). Its just that the skills gap is so wide here....
