    In a way you are correct. The invincibility was stripped away but he still managed to beat Ruddock a couple times before he went to prison. He still had something left cuz if he hadn't Ruddock would have beaten him. When I think of a fighter being done I think of it being open season on the guy. This was obviously not the case in Tyson's 4 fights post Douglas/pre-prison. He was still gonna be an extremely difficult opponent for anyone.

    Even as a Tyson fan, that was tough for me to watch. I hate seeing a man unravel like that in the public eye.
