    completely wrong. Liston fought Williams, machen, folley, dejohn, wepner and Clark who were all unafraid. to say that these men can't fight is just ignorant. and they all stood up to liston.

    Same with Tyson. he didn't fold against rudduck, Thomas, tillis, or Tucker. all of which can fight and werent afraid.

    They werent as tough mentally as someone like Frazier, Holyfield, or Ali, but they certaintly were not just pussies who folded when stood up to.

    Does anyone know the title of this docu, or have the link? Is this the same one in which, at one point, Atlas says God gave him a strong body but not a strong mind?

    Tyson was very disciplined in his prime
    Teddy atlas said he worked very hard

    look at Tysons body,

    Overweight people who cant be bothered to lose weight that is weak willed, Tyson is not in that category.

    His dedication and focus in the gym to get in shape and work hard can be questioned but NOT his will to fight, not everyone laid down for Tyson in fact few did, and some like, Tucker, Ruddock & Bruno hit him hard.
