yeah i liked what brooks was trying to do with tyson (although tyson looked super sluggish vs botha). he should've stuck with him. roach imo also had him looking pretty good (at least in early rounds).
botha was his first fight out of his second prison stint for the road rage incident. Tyson looked crappy, but improved and looked good against Savarese and then Golota. Thats when Tyson should have immediately gone to the Lewis fight after the Golota fight, but his crazy personal life never let him consistently put fights together. The long layoffs and out of the ring troubles, just created more rust and inconsistentcies.
definitely. tyson has himself to blame as i think he could've been a real force in the late 90s early 2000s if he had some sense. as much credit as lewis deserves, tyson imo looked the worst he's ever looked vs lewis in 03 (tied w/ mcbride fight).
