Why do people say Tyson was visibly out of shape against Douglas?

    No one was saying that back then. Tyson looked like he always did physically, it was a big shock when he lost. Not one person thought to themselves or said out loud, "Tyson looks out of shape tonight" when he fought Douglas.

    Tyson was dropped by Greg Page during a sparring session leading up to the fight but that wasn't the first time Tyson had a rough sparring session. Oliver McCall and Elijah Tillery had given him some rough moments in the past as well.

    In my opinion Tyson was not the best he had ever been that night (mentally) but he was in good physical shape that night.

    LOL, there is so much "preposterous" stuff said here I can't keep track

    I met Tyson at the USA boxing facility in the Springs in the early 80's and I thought he was a middleweight not nearly big enough to fight with the monsters in the heavyweights let alone the super heavyweights he ended up beating up.

    Those steroids his team were feeding him must have been strong.

    And you're point is?

    You see, I, and I'm sure there are millions of others, who would have no problem in believing this very powerful little squat guy would have dominated either the 160, or the 175 division for a very long time.

    The problem occurs when quite frankly, what can only be be considered as idiots, would try to tell us that this same stumpy little freak would have annihilated everyone from Jack Johnson, through to the brothers Klitchko.

    When the reality is a 42 - 1 underdog didn't only win, he beat up, humiliated, and KTFO this cretin.

    Do you see where I am coming from here?

    Now, I will hand back over to the imbecilic excuse mongers who remind me of the Germans who claimed " I was only doing my job "

    Of course they were. The reason being they were too fukking stupid to think for themselves.

    You have ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to make these PREPOSTEROUS claims about what some ( TYSON FREAKS ) on this forum consider to be the GOD of boxing.

    These idiots will hunt you down, and try their best to destroy, your home, your family, and any life you may think you have.

    HOW DARE YOU PORTRAY the TYSON SCUM in anything OTHER than a FAVOURABLE light?

    Nobody ever, ever, got the best of Tyson, either in sparring, or in a fight. What the fukk is wrong with you?

    He either drank, took drugs, or had the pox, due to him shagging more women than Errol Flynn, ****** Beatty, Mick Jagger, and Rod Stewart combined, because EVERY girl really wants a semi literate fukkwit boxer who grunts to order food, in a restuarant.:roll::roll::roll:

    As far from reality you seem to think the Tyson nuthuggers are you are equally in the opposite direction, devils advocate is one thing but from your intense hatred I have to wonder if you shared a cell with Tyson?!

    What gets me is when when guys like Lennox Lewis, and the Klitchko's come along they are crowned as great, but lets just consider this a 6'5" a 6'6.5 and a 6'8" becomes champion they are great even though during their time they have all the physical advantages in sheer size over their comp but when an undersized fighter with every physical disadvantage comes along he isn't....hmmmm

    Based on what?

    This was bought up during the Tillery-Bowe fight, where even the commentators were laughing at Tillerys claims that hed got the better of Tyson in sparring.

    Exactly. Didn't Tillery say he was the reason Tyson canceled his fight with Holyfield in November 1991?
