In my honest opinion, I don't think he ever wanted to fight him again. After losing to Douglas, He should have gotten an immediate rematch whether Holyfield was mandatory or not... They could have easily given him step aside money just as gave lewis step aside money when he was mandatory back in 96. But what do you think?
not sure about your question, good one. But my feelings are tyson got busted and rightly got in line. None of this automatic rematch shyt if one gets outmatched handily, is something I feel strongly about. Rematches are for precarious decisions.
