    Tyson beat Tucker who was an exellent world that beat Douglas, Tyson`s whoe style was designed to beat a taller opponent by D`Amato, slipping the longer jab using footwork to get inside, then landing fast counter hooks, there`s a vid showing Tyson throwing the exact combo`s that Povetkin landed on AJ.

    And yet who couldn't do jack to Lennox.. he would get pushed back and didn't know what to do.

    Povetkin landed fully, repetitively against AJ.. he had no issues landing perfect combinations that he no doubt practised to death on really tall sparring partners. Partners Tyson didn't really exploit much.

    Povetkin as a whole just wasn't enough to beat AJ... but he did everything Tyson couldn't do against Lennox.

    That has been the issue for 10 years, the era has been rotten. Big Baby Miller should fight the winner of Dullian Whyte v Dull Boy Pakora to unify the UK and US Fat Pudding Title - the unified pudding gets a shot at Tony Dosh.

    I have already stated that taking Wilder and a prime Fury would have him up there with the era of Wlad.

    Tyson served a long prison sentence before facing Lewis and his career was effectively finished on the day he went to prison. Nobody comes back from that anywhere near the same level.

    Tyson was completely finished when he fought Lewis after he sacked Rooney he lost te ability to fight tall fighters and he punched harder than Povetkin also.
