What if Mike Tyson beat Buster Douglas?

nope, think vander would have got off the floor in round 11 and won a clear decision against a faded tyson

 

If tyson beat buster there would have been no tyson/ruddock fights......................tyson would think he was invinsible and lose to evander..............no quality trainers at that point

 

Tyson had been slipping before the Douglas fight, if the Douglas fight wasn't a wake up call for him to get his **** together than Holyfield would have certainly stopped him.

 

Holy woud have beat him and probably gave him a rematch and beat him again. Losing to Buster may have been a good thing, because it allows us to wonder how he would have done vs. Evander back then. if he had fought him the whole argument that Tyson in his prime would beat Holyfield would not exist. Holyfield would have proven to be the better prime fighter.

 

This is a really good question. I think it depends on the manner in which Tyson beats Douglas. If He blows him away he doesn't fight Tillman and Stewart but goes straight to Ruddock and stuggles to UD then Holyfield proves too much and scores a late TKO

If he mangages to avoid a slip up against Buster and climb's off the floor to KO him then he gets a wake up call and holds onto his title until he gets locked up.

Post lock up the clamour for a Lewis fight or a Holyfield fight would be too much too soon for Mike and he gets Ko'd off either. The rest of his career afterwards plays out pretty similarly to what it did anyway after this.

 

I guess what i'm saying in my post is I reckon Holyfield beats Tyson at any stage

 

He would have lost eventually to another no name.

 

Tyson did beat Douglas: when he floored him in round 8 and Douglas stayed on the floor for 14 seconds. Tyson was unbeatable in his prime and although he didn't train seriously for the Douglas fight, he still won it by a KO.

 

He would have beaten Holyfeld, Foreman and Ruddock. He'd be 40-0 when he went to prison. I don't think the rest of his career and personal life would be any different. Had he beat or drew which was a real possibility had Douglas not stopped him in 10.

 

Tyson worse opponent was himself! He self destructed. Buster Douglas was just evidence of that. He could of been/should of been the best HW boxer ever had he lived clean like bhop.

 

I don't beleive that............prime vs prime Tyson takes a UD.

Evander beat a shell of Tyson..........Lewis beat a shadow. Look how close DMQ fought EH.........Tyson would have beaten both.:smoke

 

he would still be champion ha

 

do you really believe that?

do you think douglas had a stopwatch in there? was he thinking "**** this ref, he's counting slow. i better get up quick cause my watch says it's at 8"

no...you listen to the ref. whatever time the REF says, that's the count

 

SHUT UP...EVEN AS A TYSON FAN.....DOUGLAS WAS TOTALLY COHEARANT..................AND TYSON WAS DOWN FOR 14 SECONDS ALSO IF U GET A STOP WATCH:rofl
