But for all Douglas's brilliance, anyone familiar with Tyson's career had to notice how below form he was. We'd seen the technical skills slowly erode from after the Spinks fight onwards. The lack of jab, combinations, head movement. But in this fight Tyson also lacked his usual pace and early rounds venom. It was simply a bad night against a superb opponent. Tucker, Thomas or Ruddick may well have beaten 'that' Tyson too.
At the end of the day the worst Tyson to date nearly fluked a one punch KO. I think an on form Tyson would have probably beaten that Douglas.....but we'll never know!
