Based on the simple fact that Tyson clearly not at his best, plus eventhough Buster fought the fight of a lifetime, he was still saved by a long count.
The uppercut that Tyson caught him with was not one of his hardest shots. With Buster being stopped 3 times before he met Tyson, i think a Tyson on his day stops Buster within 5.
Like i said in my previous post, Tyson made many mistakes that night. Mainly that he stood off Buster for so long, giving Buter the time and space to throw his big punches and jab.
Also Tyson hardly threw any combinations and didnt really go to the body and wasnt following his jab with anything.
Alot of credit must go to Douglas for seizing on Tysons mistakes.

Speaking to Buster Douglas has made u so subjective.

Tyson was in his physical prime against Buster, but mentally he wasnt there. You cant deny the fact that he didnt prepare for that fight. I give Buster all the credit in the world. His gameplan in that fight was remarkable, and he fought the fight of his life. The fact that they were using cold water in a rubber glove to try to reduce swelling basically symbolizes the preperation of the Tyson camp as a whole.

Tyson is overrated more often than underrated. There are posters on this site who consider him the best fighter of all time. That's like calling Eric Clapton the greatest guitarist of all time -- a secondhand opinion most often that's not at all based on any careful observation and study.
But Tyson for a moment was a deadly fighter, and we should all think well of him.
