He lost fights, but what I want to say is? Mike Tyson always ALWAYS gave extreme resistance in a losing effort.
There is this popular myth that he would just disappear when faced with resistance. All of this is fairy tales, that people tell themselves for comfort.
Mike Tyson fought Buster Douglas, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Danny Williams, and even Kevin Mcbride hard.
If you look at all of his loses, none of them are embarrassing. Even when he was not in the best of condition against Lewis, Tyson can still be seen to be trying. And he took heavy bombardment from Lewis etc.
Against Williams Tyson was injured, and against Mcbride? It was just time to go, for as ling as it lasted he produce some violence.
Just think of the loses, Holyfield, Roy Jones, De La Hoya had near the end of their career's. Tyson was dangerous, his opponents stricken with fear and apprehensiveness until the end.
When Buster Douglas was asked, did you ever seen Tyson wilting, he replied 'No'. He stated that he never saw a look of retirement in Mike Tyson's eyes.
People will continue to tell themselves fairy tales, when it comes to Mike Tyson. And they will sleep comfortable now it is not the late 80's, 90's or early 2000's.
Night night.
