    Tony Tubbs had never been stopped and had skill and toughness ,fast hands.
    He came in with that extra weight hanging off him.
    But for a brief time he showed flashes of how good he could be.
    That was another impressive display from Tyson, putting Tubbs down in the second.

    Spinks. Even with hindsight, the bad knees etc he really should've gone longer.

    He was wrapped in one a few times but just not by Peter McNeely.

    I never thought Bruce Seldon would last very long but I expected him to go down from a punch and not a gust of air.

    Carl "The Truth" Williams had all the tools, size, style to give Tyson some trouble at least for awhile. He just had a flaw that he that left him open to a lefthook.
