    ......what would have happened? I think Mike would have quit. He looked discouraged, despite winning the rounds. I just couldn't see him winning a decision against anyone this late in his career. What do you think would have happened if Nielsen hung in there?

    He would have continued to get beat up.

    He wasn't offering the kind of resistance that would have made things interesting. Basically, he couldn't fight.

    Tyson was clearly in poor shape but Nielson was putting the type of pressure on Tyson to gas him out. You saw Danny Williams really pick up the pace once Tyson started to tire and thats what made Tyson quit. I dont think Nielson was capable of doing that. He was probably in just as poor shape.
