Could a ''prime'' Mike Tyson truly beat the Buster Douglas of February 11th 1990?

It is not reverse of the facts to assume the man who won would win again.

Of course I can't be certain and not every rematch goes the same way, but I don't see Tyson beating Douglas that night.

 

As soon as he got up, the bell rang.

 

yes they were champions. douglas wasn't.

why are champions lesser than a contender?

 

Yes , easily

 

I've actually said that this part of your argument is intact.
WHy are you brandishing this part of your argument that has been accepted, instead of the parts that have been shown to fail?

 

All your arguments here indicate a man whose mind is made up and who wont accept any opinion to the contrary....what the hell do u base douglas being a great jabber on ? One night against tyson when kirk douglas would have outjabbed tyson?

Clearly u never saw holyfield counter douglas"s great jab with one right hand to end the fight and thats what would have happened with tyson from 86-88

Tyson fought holmes,pinklon thomas,bruno and tyrell biggs to name a few who had great or very good jabs.carl williams had a decent jab.....in fact douglas"s jab over the course of his career was no better than any of those guys.

Quit the blind douglas fanboyism

 

They would have all beaten the Tyson of Feb 11th 1990. Isn't it odd that Douglas never looked anywhere near that good in his other 45 bouts. Tyson was so awful that night and had been so dominant up til then that it just made the guy who beat him look like Superman.

And Douglas was down for a 9 count. That's pretty close.

 

I believe he was down for 12 seconds

 

My argument does not and cannot fail.

I said Mike could win but I doubt that he would win.

There is literally no logical argument against me.

 

Did you watch the knockdown? At what number was he on his feet? He was quite fortunate the bell rang when it did.
