Tyson: final Liston parallel/would it have been better to have gone to the scorecards

[twospeed99]

Tyson died in 1990, Buster Douglas killed the wrecking machine.

Tyson's career died when he was wrongfully sent to prison, he was never the same in the ring after that.

This is true, though we all loved the illusion, didn't we? Seeing him smash Bruno to bits in three gave us all a thrill as we told ourselves that Bruno was a legit contender to cement the dream, eh?

Having said that, Tyson was pretty good against Holyfield, even if he did lose, and he battered Golota.

would it have been better for Tyson to have dragged it out for four more rounds (assuming that he could have avoided being KOed in the meantime) and gone to the scorecards? IQUOTE]
i think it would have been better if the fight never happened at all. Mcbride will now think he's a top heavyweight, and then get licked by a top 10 guy.

Yeah, but at least this will demonstrate how far Tyson has fallen... I reckon McBride could be taken by a top 40 guy, no need for the top tenners to trouble themselves...
