    Tillis was less than prime then

    Yes, he was in shape

    Tyson was not yet fully defeloped as a pro, having been pro less than 1 full yr.

    Tillis did fight as well as he could at that time.

    FOTC Frazier, who was probably at or very close to his peak, would wear him down and top him down and stop him around the 8th round.

    Yes, he was in shape

    Tyson was not yet fully developed as a pro, having been pro less than 1 full yr.

    Tillis used all his guile to last the full 10 rounds.

    But, he didn't have the movement and handspeed he showed in the 1981-1982 time frame.
