    Douglas was under contract with king as his promoter,Holyfield simply through more money at him to fight,tyson was to fight holyfield anyway.With all the confusion I highly doubt douglas wanted Tyson over holyfield or he would have given the rematch.

    You are beyond dumb, Holyfield was the #1 contender and signed to fight Tyson in June 1990. Douglas was the tuneup fight and spoiled Tinkerbells plans. Tyson did not have a rematch clause..

    Keep on diggin boy, I've said it before little boys shouldn't be allowed on this forum, now go play with your Pokemon....

    I can imagine easily considering Tucker (a Tyson victim) destroyed
    a better Douglas who was in better shape against Tony .

    Try to wrap your brain around this:

    Nobody in this thread has tried to say Tyson was grossly overweight for the Douglas fight.

    What many have tried to explain to you, with no success due to the thickness of your cranium apparently being beyond that of a prime JC Chavez, is that merely being in decent fighting weight, as Tyson was, does not by itself mean he was in optimum physical and mental shape for the fight. Thus, the fact that he passes the 'eye test' does not mean he was in prime condition for the fight.

    Sorry I do apologise, it was on one of the other nuthugger threads about Tyson or do you think I'm lying?? It's not easy keeping on top of all these fantasy threads you know..

    I'd like to think my cranium is on par with Marvin Haglers but I guess JCC will do as a compliment.....

    Will you shut up with him not being mentally ready for the fight, please show me proof he wasn't...

    Prove he wasn't? See how that works you buffoon. Try taking a critical thinking course, it would certainly do you some good. Not sure if you have enough brain capacity to process what you're learning. Just doing what it takes to get on the internet and type here is taking up 95% of your capacity as is. Though, I still think it might do you some good anyways.

    Can we have a ban on the idiotic crutches like "nuthugger"... That's a simp's brick wall response and really speaks more of the commentator than the commentated....

    I propose banning the term "mike tyson" of this forum... That would do a lot of good

    Again Douglas was under contract with king,he did not want Tysoin,has nothing to do with nothing....Keep digging what,you are getting battered on here and the other threads you foolishly continue to post on,you even stated you were an "ADULT" when you saw Douglas k.o Tyson yet you were SIX?:lol:

    Very good idea, or maybe they should set up a Tyson fantasy section. There the nuthuggers can play to their hearts content...
