I'm surprise in '86 Tyson fought twice in Nov and twice in December. I had no idea a pro fighter could fight twice in a month. Myabe that was in the good old days. Now it's all commissioned with a watchful eye. Sad.

No, it's because he was young and knocking out cans. It's fairly common for a prospect for have 10 fights in a year.
ok last time I heard you can only fight once a month, except for state of MS, which you can do once a week? Commission rules change whenever a new douche takes over. This is Tyson in 80's New York, when NY was still NY. Shouldn't be a surprised. There a ton of rules now.
