Were all tysons sparring partners beating tyson before the douglas fight?.

Dont know about all of his sparring partners. I think it was clear Tyson wasnt as focused on boxing as he should have been. He also had an amatuer corner which made him fight like an amatuer at times.

 

No.

He was better than ever.

Best shape of his life, no doubt.

 

I highly doubt that

 

Agreed, his corner was a joke.

 

just mccall i believe but im not sure if that was before douglas

 

greg page had dropped tyson in sparring once...but i think that was prior to the tubbs fight.... tyson downfall was banging all the women in japan....which is no secret that he was doing....because after all, he was gonna KO douglas in 1 round

 

Thats what I heard as well. He was sitting in a hotel room watching movies and banging chicks. I also heard he dropped like 30 pounds in a month so he wouldnt look bad on TV.
I remember reading somewhere that Aaron Snowell said Mike only showed up to the gym once or twice and the last time he got dropped by Greg Page.

 

If anything, that would help him.

 

but douglas never beat tyson. tyson k.o himin the 8th but the ref took his sweet time on the count

 

jeesus, this an issue 20 years later?

if I had this info and the internet, I'd lay a shiny dollar to win me some nice loot.

 

good one. as to the thread yeah i heard page knocked him down and mccall owned him but i've seen footage of the sparring sessions and though mccall had his moments and did quite well tyson lost his cool and nailed him with a sick body shot (which somehow he said hurt his back...)

 

Variations of this topic are brought up nearly everyday.

The result is a circle-jerk over what "teh PRIME Tyson!!11" would have done.

 

the prime tyson would've ****ed a lot of japanese girls

 

Mike Tyson was definitely not himself that night, but if it wasn't for the long count; he still should of beat Douglas.
Not to take anything from Douglas; he got up after his beating; stayed focus and pulled off the upset of the century!
