56. DANNY WILLIAMS (l ko 4)

In fairness, the ageing Tyson started well enough, but his subsequent capitulation highlighted his desire to be anywhere other than a boxing ring at this stage of his life.

Notice the aging Tyson. Tyson was 38 years old. Now see below in Tyson's finest hour.

1. LARRY HOLMES (w rsf 4)

January 22 1988, Convention Center, Atlantic City

Tyson never looked better and the great Holmes, as he fought on until the turn of the century while securing two further title tries, never again came close to enduring a thrashing as complete as this. Tyson maturely went to work in the opening two rounds, remained calm during a brief Holmes fightback in the third, and applied the finishing touches in the fourth.

Larry Holmes was also 38 years old. But no mention of the aging Larry Holmes, who was, by the way, coming into the fight off back-to-back-losses, no, it's the Great Larry Holmes.

So, to clarify, as per typical Mike Tyson bias and not being able to accept he's not that good, nor ever was.

Mike Tyson aged 38 - Aging.

Larry Holmes aged 38, coming off two losses - No mention of aging, but THE GREAT. Also if you look at the physical conditions of both men, to call Mike Tyson the one who is aging is laughable.

Tyson looked tremendous in some highlight video against some bums as an up and comer while you can make another highlight video of the same length where Tyson got beat pillar to post.

Same could be said about Roy Jones I suppose.
