What if? Tyson had fought Holyfield before Douglas?

Mike lost to Hemry Tilman while he was sparring with Holyfield.

I'm sure there would be a good reason for Tilman to have Mike's number, and if the fight hadn't happened in 1990, it's proof that Mike was afraid of Tilman. If he was afraid of Evnder because he sparred evenly with him, imagine how afraid he must have been of Tilman

But wait...

Holyfield had Tyson's number, but he didn't want to use a challenger and tried to stay away from Tyson as long as possible. Hokeyfield's fans believe in him more than he does.

Holyfield signed to fight Tyson in 1990 tho, but Mike wet the bed against Buster.

 

Douglas was scared of mike fi you watch the first two rounds. It's just that he gained confidence as he realized Mike was hittable. Lewis was also scared of mike in the first few rounds.

The only guy that never was afraid of Mike was Evander,

if you watch at 6:25 Mike has a look in the first round of "WTF is going on" . I have seen all of his losses and all of his fights, he never had that look on his face this early.

 

Lol at 21 being a "boy" when compared to a teen.

 

But Tillman didn't take a pool cue out of a 17 year old Mike's hands.

 

Yes, Evander threatened Tyson with a pool cue. Imagine how scared Mike must have been to Teddy when he threatened 16-year-old Mike with a gun. Yeah, Teddy always had Mike's number. Tyson avoided him his entire career.

 

Mike's downfall was due to not having Teddy. Cus had little to do with it. Teddy told me so.
