tyson's punching power was extremely overrated. Tillis took his best shots and simply laughed at tyson. He still got out pointed though.

[prinzemanspopa]

Tillis did give Tyson a very competitive fight.Tyson wasn't far away from winning a title,but he was still learning at that point.Tillis had the style and smarts to give Tyson problems.He still lost the fight fair and square,though.Four rounds at most,no more than that.



Tillis is actually on record as saying that Tyson hit harder than Shavers,so I'm not sure what's happened recently that prompted him to change his mind.Slightly delusional and perhaps a little a bitter,maybe.

I read an old article that suggested Tillis deserved the decision, I didn't see it that way. Every fighter has an off night.

Tillis defeated Mike in the Ams and until Buster Douglas gave him the best fight of his pro career up to that point.
