    Tyson was outboxed by Lewis.............and stopped.............Douglas also stopped Tyson. Tyson has some boring fights in between his good fights.

    Actually, it was Don King who knocked Tyson's career out!

    Tucker and "Bonecrusher" had some succes against Tyson due to using distance and in Smith's case constant holding.
    There was also a guy early in Mike's career who showed the "blueprint" when having a huge reach advantage. He was the first to make it the distance, and some even believe he won the fight.

    James Tillis, aka Muhammad Ali wannabe gave Tyson a hell of a fight. Past the 5th round Tyson slowed down.
