    Has anyone said Tubbs?

    That was a fight where Tyson made early adjustments and proof that he could fight on the inside. Tyson was far from the finished product and you can see Rooney had been working with Tyson on his inside game.

    But, I wouldn't really call that taking a dive.

    To me, taking a dive is prearranged

    No, it doesn't take away from Tyson's accomplishments.

    But, it highlights Wass's mindset that he chooses to focus on the legitimacy of a few early Tyson Knockouts of vastly overmatched early opponents, when there are an array of spectacular kos of very solid opponents on his resume to choose from.

    I've never seen anyone take the amount of shots Thomas took to survive, not from a power puncher like Mike. Those 16 unanswered shots were insane!!

    Dude lost loads of cash betting on Tyson. My guess it was the Holyfield fight, or maybe even the rematch.

    Not sure but I think it was him who called Tyson "Tinkerbell".

    And truth is he wasn't that badly hurt either. He had all his senses intact but just didn't want anymore.....

    Sorry but this makes no sense, why would he not want more if he wasn't hurt?

    You know what I mean clever clogs. He wasn't stunned badly or semi conscious. He'd had enough that's all.

    No. He tried to get up desperately and actually beat the count becuse neither his gloves nor his knees were on the canvas at 10, Angelo saved his life. He took a ton of clean fully loaded power shots to a chin that was raised and exposed by an uppercut, he was gone.

    There is no one EVER who could have taken that barrage in that succession, if you consider the time between each shot, the power of the guy throwing, the leverage behind each shot and the position of Thomas' head and chin when he got hit.
