    pre prison and post prison Tyson are very different.

    prison destroyed Tyson as an athlete, understandable given that theres a fair chance he was innocent - that sentence would crush anyone, let alone an innocent man. It would have ben easier on him if he was guilty (which might be true too). The whole world thinks you are a ******, that's gotta be seriously bad. Nothing left to hang your pride on, nowhere to hide.

    The biggest myth in boxing is

    "Take Tyson beyond the 5th and you win"

    prime for prime - Lewis/Tyson is 50/50

    On one hand Tyson could have knocked Lewis out
    On the other it could be a replay of their actual fight

    3 of those losses are during his post prison slide, during which anyone can tell he wasn't boxing like he used to just by watching 1 round of his fights then.


    you are akin to claiming that ali was very beatable because of his losses to spinks, holmes and berbick.

    the guy had a full tank before prison. Inevitably he would ease off later in the fight (since its physically impossible to keep mving and swinging for 15 rounds nonstop).
