Berbick beat;
John Tate - Ex-Champ
Mitch Green - Who lost by 10 round decision to Tyson. Mitch was ranked as a top 10 fighter by both WBA and WBC untul Berbick beat him.
David Bey - In his first fight her beat Buster Douglas and later on Greg Page. He was 14 - 0 until Berbick beat him.
Pinklon Thomas - Was the WBC champion, with a record of 24-0-1. Berbick thrased Thomas in a 12 round UD.
His next match would be against Tyson, who yeah, was a prospect. But was a 20 year old kid. Thomas fought Tyson in 1987 with a serious shoulder injury, but managed to out jab Tyson. Tyson knocked Thomas down in the 6th, although he managed to get up for the count - the referee ended it.
There ain't no way he's going to jeopardize his boxing career for Tyson.
