Yes. Physically at 26, he would not have slowed down if he had maintained the same dedication to the sport he had under Cus. Would he have declined earlier than most because of his style and size? Probably, but NOT in his mid to late twenties.
Pretty sure she expected sex. Also pretty sure she didn't expect sex like that, or getting done up the ass either. (Sodomy included in the charges). Is that **** or not? Tough to say really. Depends if she told him not to, or just got shook up about it later.
What do I think? I think he's wrong... Tyson might have declined naturally eventually before teh age of 30 because of his style, but not at the ripe age of 22. he declined because of all stupid things he got lazy, dumped his trainer, and quit fighting and training with the kind of dedication he once had. Simple as that.
That was a dam good read. Two words as a follow-up/extrapolation to this idea that tyson's style made him vulnerable to aging => JML Anyone? Think about it. I'll see you guys after the Marquez fight:deal
steward is partially right. It wasn't just age. It was lack of focus, discipline , work ethic, etc. He was already declining by 1989.
