    he never fought tyson. his only big wins were against holyfield. he needed to fight dirty to finish off coetzer.

    Tyson was a ATG when he was focused and was with rooney

    the L was coming sooner or later he stopped caring

    Once he was with king he did not care Dude thought he was the GOAT he just had to show up and that he would destroy them

    That is the reason he lost to Douglas

    Dude wasted alot of talent a real shame

    I know he never fought Tyson, this is a hypothetical thread, I'm speculating that's all.
    Tyson was awesome but everytime he stepped up he had problems.
    Douglas KO'd him who didn't have a huge KO%, Holyfield stopped him he didn't have a huge KO%, who's to say Old Foreman, Bowe, or even Golota couldn't have as well.

    bowe had the tools, its his balls that are in question. fully motivated and prime yes he has a fair chance.

    foreman? naa, too old and slow by then, though young foreman definitely has a good chance.

    golota? nooooo....

    I honestly always had Evander down to beat him. He did later and I somehow knew he would,one of the few I have had bang on right. The next fight would have been or certainly should have been Holyfield so for me had he got past Buster he would lose next fight. I never saw the loss in Tokyo coming though,honestly thought 1st or 2nd round Ko in Mike`s favour.

    Prime Golota before the Bowe fights he was 28-0, with 27 KO's he may of had a slight chance of stopping Tyson.

    If all else failed he would definitely dropped him with a brutal ball shot.

    why wasn't he prime after those fights? he won both foul fests in reality. against one of the only hw's as dirty as he.

    Glass jaw?? How many clean shots did it take from douglas to put that ****er down? And holy threw everthing including the kitchen sink and he was still upright. So wheres this glass jaw? Lewis beat the **** out of him for 8 rounds when he was just ****ed and still had to push him down. All of his stoppages have come from fatigue not his jaw that let him down.

    Tyson would have gone off the rails sooner or later. If not Douglas then someone else.
