Watching the Seldon-Tyson build up is hilarious

    Does anyone feel this was fixed? Or was his chin really that weak?

    Seldon never ever had the defense to deal with a guy like Tyson. Made to order with that chin always up in the air and those hands low. He left a bigger opening than Tyrell Biggs did.

    It wasn't fixed, Seldon was just terrified of Iron Mike.

    Incidentally and unhappily, Seldon, "already a millionaire" has been made homeless and was living in a shelter a couple of years back. Crowdfund stuff out there, not sure if it is real or not.

    That build-ups of Tyson's fights in 96-97 were really entertaining.

    Tyson's personal charisma was at highest levels; in cooperation with Don King he made tens of millions $$$ for every fight.

    And physical look of Tyson and his opponents was impressive as well - Tyson himself and Bruno, Seldon and Holyfield carried enormous amount of muscles, they were built like tanks.

    Funny enough I thought the same thing. I was 16 at the the time and very familiar with Tyson. Id been watching all his fights since I was 6.
    I should have known better. The fight poster just really made Seldon look like a mean and sinister dude
