      Ahahahaha, how is that logic? Buster Douglas fought a very basic fight against Tyson. He didn't take Tyson's **** and he basically stuck out his jab and outboxed him when he came inside. What do you think Lewis could do? Lewis is 3x the fighter Douglas is. Throw in his better jab and overall size advantage and Tyson doesn't stand a chance.

          You said it correctly. But this is why Tyson can never be regarded as great. The man had 2 years of prime! From 86-88 or so was the only time which people can talk about his prime.... and the moment he was out of his prime he began to lose. You don't need to have a gigantic period in which you're prime to win fights... unless you're Tyson apparently.

              look how fast it took him to get to the top also he won a title at being a pro for alittle over a year. how many ppl can do this at 20?his career started in 85 and then he was in his prime the very next year how many ppl can claim that?while most greats were still amatuers tyson was already winning the wbc belt. i think ali became champ at 23. tyson unified championship belts at 21 years of age. those type of ppl are like 1 in 4billion. ppl dont just get those chances they have to earn them. and thats why ppl consider him great.

                That's like saying the the Kansis City CHiefs played the game of their career against last year's super bowl winner. They may have played great for a game, but it takes a whole season to get to the super bowl. Obviously this is a metaphor, but to give the slow people help it's saying that the whole season is a boxer's career.

                  i understand that. but look at what he accomplished at a young age and at a short period of time

                      Tyson would have koed holyfield in prime, but lennox would have stayed longer, probably whole 12 rounds
