      i always had the feeling that don king had something to do with that.
      please. that's, as tyson would call it, "ludacrisp"

      tyson, king's #1 cash cow, lost the heavyweight title. don king tried to petition to the organizations to not recognize douglas as the champ because oof the slow count. the ibf and wbc at first did not recognize buster as the hw champ until a few days later.

      don king's fighters would not own a piece of the heavyweight title until sept 1994, 55 months later, when mccall beat lewis.

        Tyson is a developmentally disabled man who didn't have stakeholders concerned about what was best for him and on top of everything else, made bad choices in life.

        At one time he was a great boxer and perhaps in his prime, better than anyone else in his weight class ever had been. But for the previous reasons I gave will unfortunately go down as a tragic figure in the sport.

          promoting lousy ppv fights like Mayorga-Vargas and Trinidad-Jones.

            i think he made some big money betting.
            maybe i got ahead of myself,but the petitioning was a bit of a reach for me.

                  Mike put boxing on everyones tongue. Fighters since have only hoped to have done half as much.

                    tyson was overconfident and fell in love with his power. plain and simple. not the first or last guy who fell in love with his power and declined skill-wise (foreman, hamed, trinidad).

                    nobody stays on top forever. tyson had an off-night and douglas took full advantage of tyson's lack of preparation and his weaknesses that he'd shown even in his wins.
