    No.

    Evander is always going to be at 100% for the guy.

    He shows up with his 80% game against the Stewarts and Bean and Dokes types. But he can get the W. It's Tyson who isn't the same showing up less than 100%. I just don't ever see Tyson getting razor sharp for a former cruiserweight. He'd slack off in training and pre-fight preperations. And it would show the 2nd half of the fight. Watch the Stewart fights and think it'd be an easy night's work.

    The other thing that comes into play was Evander was the stronger guy in there. I could never understand the Bobby Czyz type admiration of how strong Tyson was. He's easy to tie up and when they did get inside, guys could and did walk Tyson around. Tied him up easily. His legs never looked strong in there. And it always seemed to have a big effect on the Tyson gastank and tired him out. Quickly.

    I just think Evander has way too many tools in his game to turn to and adapt and nullify.. Great shape & preperations. Chin.
    Then get it to the 2nd half of the bout and Tyson just is not the same guy in there & he is the one in trouble.. Same thing that happens with the "on top" fighters when they get taken out of that position. The flaws really get magnified.

    maybe just change your subject. It's a broken record nobody's buying your reasoning no matter how hard you try.

    We are on a boxing forum, I am posting on a thread called "Does Tyson Ever Beat Holyfield" And I have to change the subject about a post I made about Tyson could ever beat Holyfield. Are you hearing yourself?

    Get a hobby man, go watch fights do something, because if you are so bored to make a comment that is completly irrelevant and just is for attention, you don't have enough going on
