    If Tyson would have one against Douglas at the Tokyo Dome how do you think the rest of his career would have panned out? It seemed after 90' he wasn't the same Tyson. Would we have saw Tyson Vs Bowe and etc? Lets have a discussion and tell me what you think would've happened.

    IF Tyson would have beat Douglas in Tokyo he then would have been destroyed by Evander in his next fight. That "L" was inevitable...

    Tyson was not taking this sport serious at that point & Evander was hungry as ****.

    If Meyran had counted Douglas out in the 8th I doubt Tyson would have made the same mistake with his preparation any time soon.

    Yeah true and I think Tyson would've had a better career at the end if it wasn't for his problems.

    He would have fought Foreman and Foreman would have knocked him out.

    I still remember the look on Holyfield's face as he walked into the ring. He was in the zone.

    Foreman couldn't knock Morrison out and Morrison had a glass jaw.

    Michael Moorer had a glass jaw as well and it took Foreman 10 rounds to take him out.

    Holyfield had Foreman stumbling around the ring and Holyfield was not a big puncher at the time.

    Tyson would have stopped Foreman via late TKO.

    This topic has been addressed several times on this site. Bottom line: No Jacobs + No Rooney= inevitable lapse in discipline by Tyson. If he hadn't slipped up against Douglas, he would have lost to somebody else.

    Tyson had a glass jaw, I'm a big fan of his but if it hadn't been Douglas it would have been Bowe or somebody else to expose it.

    I know Foreman was a stretch, but then remember how shocked everybody was when Douglas did it, Douglas wasn't a big KO artist either.

    where was his glass jaw when he walked through the punches of the top hw division before he'd even physically matured fully?
