Did Mike Tyson a "Game quitter" against Buster Douglas like Teddy said?

[QUOTE=Benny Leonard;5306483]Is there any way to re-edit the poll to open it up to see the voting?


It would be nice for people to give a reason if it is Yes or No...but especially "YES" because I want to see what they are seeing. So, if you vote "YES" please explain why

I actually think Tyson grabbed his gumshield so he actually did get counted out but ehh most of my friends think I'm paranoid and make weird assumptions so

Tyson said his thoughts (and you have to remember he was just put on his ass from a some big bombs) was that you can't fight without your mouth-piece. He could have just stayed on his back and acted like he was dead.

That is true but keep in mind if he quit like that, it would be worse then 'trying' to get up - in the eyes of casual fans.

he wasn't a game quitter because he lost due to

1. lost his love for boxing
2. Lack of preperation due to poor focus, no respect for opponent and not
preparing to switch game plan up if plan A doesn't work
3. Out of the ring lifestyle. Partying, ****ing countless amount of girls, drugs, etc instead of being focused on the upcoming fight.

Its easy to say he was that just by watching the fight alone and seeing tyson rattled and fall apart, but when you really look at the events prior and surrounding the fight you will see why mike looked so poor in alot of his fights.

Aside from the ridiculous Ref counting.

Tyson would have beat this guy properly had he trained and prepared hard. But his antics and troubles outside the ring caught up to him, and he paid the price.

Tyson didn't even fight that nite. He was a dead shell wanderin around throwin 20 punches per rd. Teddy got an old personal beef wit Tyson. Dude takes shots at him every chance he gets.

hey tyson was looking for his mouthpiece and if you noticed it was on the same side his **** eye was on. Going back on the replay tyson is having a hard time finding it and then putting it in his mouth all while trying to get up and beat the count. Tyson has mentioned this himself. Not that tyson wasn't ****ed up cuz he was, its just that while trying to do all that, it was impossible for him to beat the 10 count and he almost did anyway.

You don't have to pick it up yourself, the ref could pick it up after you got up.

Yeah He later said when He was in Japan he was ****ing those japaneese girls left and right like a king eating g****s. He said he didn't take the fight serious and was partying to hard because the people over there was treating him like a king and mike was taking advantage of that. I really cant blame him because If I was 23 or so in that situation I might have fell into the same trap.
