All the reports at the time said that Tyson didn't train until about a week before the fight, that he's been living it up with parties and **********s. They went crazy over him in Tokyo. And with no one to control him. He was still just an oversexed, manipulative kid who wanted, and got his own way.
And in fact, no matter what Buster says, King was correct, Buster was down for nearly 15 seconds, and when he got up, his arms were hanging down. He says that he was fully recovered and listening to the ref, and that it wasn't HIS fault that the ref counted slow. Well......I suppose he's correct about that, and King was correct about the rest of it. He WAS down for over 14 seconds, and when he got up, he didn't show he was ready to fight.
When he fought Holyfield , he'd been on an extended spree himself, and had to quickly train down from, it was said, over 300 lbs.Poor Buster was also diabetic, which didn't help. Today he's HUGE. And in the Tyson fight, he boxed like he NEVER had before (or after), he looked like a REAL all-time great.
