although I agree Mike is somewhat overrated to superhuman status, I dont agree that he was beaten because of this, he was beaten because of his ego thinking that he can beat everyone cutting his training to the bare minimum and IMHO MAB vs Hamed was closer to being one sided than being a draw, the scores did not reflect the actual fight, Naseem could done better if he trained better...
remember when rjj asked everbody to take a trip to africa?

Mike Tyson lost the fight cuz he barely trained for it.Mike was beaten because he was overrated. . . Buster Douglas, the definition of a mediocre HW, thumped his ass so bad. . .
Hamed was simply figured out and outboxed by an all time great in MAB. . . The fight was not one-sided like so many people make out. . . 2 more rounds for Hamed, and the fight would have been a draw. . .
I do think you might be right about Hamed; he just lost his passion for the sport. . . further evinced by his retirement after one more fight (after MAB). . .
He had a horrible 2 week training camp and was so unfocused that he even got knocked down in sparring.
He was on a downward spiral after the death 2 of the only people who cared about him, Cus D'Amato , who was the only father figure Tyson had and His manager and best friend Jacob(don't remember his last name.
Also his Sister died a horrible depressing death due to being massively obese around that time.
That Tyson was seen with hookers weeks before the fight just shows how much he didn't give a ****.Comment
