If Mike didn't go to jail in 1992 what changes in his career?

"The Tiananmen Square protests were student-led demonstrations calling for democracy, free speech and a free press in China. They were halted in a bloody crackdown, known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, by the Chinese government on June 4 and 5, 1989."

The time line is correct to support Queenie's conjecture. If the Tiananmen Square massacre hadn't happen we might have watched the Beijing offer for Tyson-Foreman get legs under it; maybe there wouldn't have been a Tyson-Douglas fight; maybe there would have been a Tyson-Foreman fight after all.

Conjecture being the key word here. But Queenie has also claimed this fight was a done deal whereas you can see from the article (I posted this in another thread as well) that it was NEVER official and only proposed. So for him to falsely claim this fight was a "done deal" is in fact another lie by him.

Why, because he posted an actual link that states the FACTUAL content that the fight was only proposed, and NOT signed?

We would have had Tyson-Holyfield a lot sooner

Exactly what I've been trying to say and convince others of here, thank you.

Wasn't it scheduled and announced when he went?

Yep, sure was. There was even a promo poster made for it.

Retires earlier.

Has a trilogy of fights with Holyfield, then faces both Rid**** Bowe and Lennox Lewis twice.

I do think Mike Tyson would have the measure of Rid**** Bowe, but the fights would be competitive enough for there to be a rematch.

In order for Tyson to carry on with some success, he would need to stay with Richie Giachetti 'Physically he was always in great condition under Giachetti, I believe Tyson has even stated himself? That Giachetti was one of his best trainers etc

I honestly think both Holyfield, Lewis & Tyson would all be swapping win's and loses with each other.

What a fight it would have been.
