Lewis put the worst punishment on him, but what Buster did was crazy. Almost impossible to replicate.
Tyson is a tough guy in the ring (obviously - some **** always brings this up as if we doubt it), but a ***** outside it. **** his fragile mind.
The unfortunate truth is that (before he snapped) Mike was starting to connect against Holyfield. It seemed as though he was beginning to solve dude.
I think he knew it would be the last round and gave it everything. When it failed, he got out. Tyson is a **** poor actor. Almost as bad as Vitali.
If you go on Tyson's ability at the time of each loss, surely Douglas comes out on top? Granted, Tyson neglected training badly for Douglas, but he was younger & closer to his peak in 1990, than was the case in 1996! As for the Lewis defeat, Tyson was shot to bits! Should not have even been fighting. At the time of the fight, Boxing News asked "How will Tyson be kept under control from going berserk during the fight with Lewis?" An answer going around was that Tyson was made to take Medication which made him Docile! The Man should not have even been the Ring!
Tyson gets extra hate for the fact that he was fred krueger in the 80s.. wasnt till he was exposed as having the emotionality of an elementary student that he was labeled a bully, flocked, and feathered Douglas was the best because he opened the closet on the boogey man Lewis looks the best on tape cuz the fient and that lazy bob tyson did that lead him right in to the punch But the tyson lewis fought had no legs.. and the holy field version didnt either.. he just stood there and traded.. which did all the work for them
Buster ! He beat the best possible Tyson then Holyfield ..I don't count the Lewis win because Tyson was so far gone he just beat a name !
Buster, hands down. Buster beat a better version than holy and a 3-4x better version than lewis did. Buster was dropped, but Holy didn't have an easy fight either (in the first bout). Plus Buster wasn't on all types of 'gear' like Holy was in those days (when he was 33 and balding and off of a miracle cure to a heart ailment). Lewis dominated, but Tyson looked like a complete shell
