    I remember when Jamal Lewis was in jail for only a summer not too long after he had one of the great runningback seasons in NFL history, and his performance plummeted upon his return. I'd read an article beforehand predicting this, emphasizing a few things.

    1. You can workout while incarcerated, but that's not training. Working out keeps you in decent shape; training helps get you in the shape needed to compete athletically.

    2. DIET! DIET! DIET! This is a big part of training for athletes, not just what they eat, but when. Have you seen the **** served in most prisons?

    I'm amazed when any athlete comes back from an extended stay and returns to peak form (Diego Corrales, for instance), frankly.

    I know muscles dont mean too much but for the mainstream media, those 2 really looked like what the public perceived the HW champs should look like. Animalistic musclebound men ready to kill each other.

    Tyson may have very well beat Holyfield on the 2nd fight had he not lost his temper. A prime Tyson should close UD Holyfield more often than not.

    Holyfield will always be Tyson's daddy - and he would have been had they met in '91, too. :nod

    By the time Holyfield caught up with Tyson, Tyson was full of his own hype. The public believed he could run over anyone and so did he, when he oculdnt in the case of Holyfield he just got frustrated and lost his temper.

    IMO Tyson with Rooney who was alot more calculated and calm with a boxers mindset would have gone through with the frustration and just concentrated on racking up the points. Had it gone 12rounds, a prime Tyson IMO would UD Holyfield.

    well the haters such as those that write this post are as bad or worse than any "Tysonite". First, any guy with a "pulse" and "fought back" has got to be the dumbest opinion that haters throw out there. He dominated more than a few whom would be belt holders today and 1 or 2 fought back I'm sure. Second, Danny Williams didn't "whoop" ****. 38 year old Mike had that slob on ***** street several times before tearing up his knee. Tyson couldn't move eventually in the second round, williams proceeded to throw some wild 'club fighter' type punches and Tyson realized it was pointless to continue because of the injury. Third, Holy Tyson 1 was a competitive fight (it was Ring mag's fight of the year) which Holy won clearly. It was no "whooping" but a convincing win by a focused and pharmaceutically enhanced Holyfield over a very good HW in Tyson (but not the same guy as 7 to 8 years before). Also, Lewis and Buster (to a degree) did whoop Tyson, but Lewis fought an absolute shell that night (worst Tyson version ever) and hey Buster fought a great fight and would beat some other ATG hw's that night (and no excuse but tyson wasn't on his game obviously tho he still made douglas taste the canvas).


    Stop spinning your "historical facts"
