    No. The problem people have with what yous are saying is your trying to point towards it being the same mike tyson that decimated the division that fought douglas. He,d lost his way by then. Had new trainers. Personal life was a mess. Had stopped training the system that made him sucessful. Cus had died.

    It was all on him...people dont really regard tyson as an atg because how his career panned out. They shouldnt anyway. People do detract from tyson because of it. Its not like people are giving him a pass for it. Its when people make out it was the same guy that just got found out. It wasnt it was a guy who had big problems going into the fight. He was lethargic from the opening bell.

    Can we clarify...was it the same tyson that destroyed berbick that just got found out against douglas or not?

    The double standards is hilarious, if Tyson was in poor condition for the Douglas fight I'd hate to see what he looked like in tip-top shape......

    It worked for Patterson and Torres.

    Joshua would be too fast for Tyson? I don't think so.

    It's a fact he wasn't in the best of shape, a matter of public record.

    Tyson wouldn't be able to avoid his fast right hand and combinations, Joshua has too much in his arsenal for Tyson I'm afraid.

    Work ethic plus natural gifts. Don't think someone with just work ethic but without those natural gifts can replicate that.

    Will easily be able to bob and weave out of anything Joshua throws and gasses himself in the process. Only thing Joshua has a big fat weak chin.

    That is irrelevant we are talking about his training going into the Douglas fight, we was distracted, over confident and had a **** corner.

    Douglas wasn't in the best of condition, no biggie. Tyson could have had King Kong in his corner, he still wouldn't have won.

    Yeah because nobody ever landed a punch on him now, the myth gets bigger and better with every passing day......

    Holyfield uses a SHAT load of excuses for his losses. And his hardcore fans do the same.

    Why do Tyson fans bother you so much? Every fighter's fans use excuses. But here you are again, on every Tyson thread showing discontent for his fans.

    You better comment on other threads then, not just Tyson's.

    Douglas was in great shape and focused like he had never been before or after.Your dislike of Tyson renders you incapable of being objective about him.
