Yeah, agreed. To your original point, with Tyson-Douglas I think it’s a mix of his fans making excuses but also the shock..it was so against form...
Some of them absolutely get a pass. Larry Holmes for example is often excused for being too old and unprepared. Michael Spinks, Tyson’s biggest...
Hagler wasn’t even at the high end of the middleweight limit. With the way they do weigh-ins now, he’d have been more comfortable at...
