    It seems more often than not K bros' opponents come in to survive.

    Have there been other fighters in history who've caused this effect with such consistency?

    I was a kid when Tyson was fighting and wasn't following boxing at the time, folks says that he had this effect on fighters. Did it happen as frequently with Tyson as it does with the Ks?

    Yes. Michael Spinks was one of the greatest light heavyweights of all time. Watch this video, and the expression on his face on his way to, and once inside, the ring. He is frightened.

    Jesse Ferguson was disqualified because, after he took a vicious uppercut from Tyson in the 5th round, he just clung to Mike to stay alive and wouldn't let go.

    Bruce Seldon threw himself onto the canvas and stayed there to avoid being punished.

    James Tillis ran to survive against Tyson. He sure earned his nickname of "Quick" during that fight. It was the only way he managed to make it all 10 rounds.
