Did Buster Douglas Really Beat Mike Tyson??

douglass beat the crap out of douglass. if the count was shorter douglass still would have gotten up and BEAT HIM. this should not even be a thread.

Tyson beat himself

The argument can be made that Tyson was wronged, but at the same time, who is to say that Douglas wouldn't have gotten up before the 10-count if the referee had followed the timekeeper's count? The fact is Tyson was "officially" knocked out that night, while Douglas was not.

Tyson lost the fight because of personal reasons outside of boxing. I believe that the invincible aura the media had given him had made Iron Mike ****y and he didn't train for the Douglas fight as well as he should have. The big money fight was against Holyfield, so Tyson's camp did not think of Douglas as a threat. Just like Lennox Lewis with Hasim Rahman, Tyson didn't take the fight seriously and paid the ultimate price.

Regardless of all the fiasko and bull **** about the long count... almost no heavyweight in the history of the division could've beaten Buster Douglas that night. The man was a machine who systematically picked apart Tyson and didn't take any of his ****. I love that fight because Douglas put on the fight of his life and looked masterful while doing so.

[leff]

YES he DID lose the fight, get over it.

and spar me the excuses like mike didnt train....well so why the **** didnt he train thats no excuse.

and if he would have beaten him in shape why the hel didnt he reamcth douglas?
