Why did Tyson never have a re- match against Buster Douglas?

[Russian Crushin]

i believe they offered Douglass quite a bit of money right after the upset but Douglass turned it down to fight Holyfield instead (who he lost to.)
After Tyson got out of jail Douglass was done. He balooned up to something like 350-400 pounds and no way would he have been a viable opponent for anyone.

The money he was offered for a rematch was no where near what he got paid against Holyfield

Why? 2 reason

#1. I think Holyfield was the mando

#2. Because he got 75% of a $32 mil purse bid ($24 mil).

He did not want any involvement with Don King after he tried to have the ref's count reveersed and Douglas declared KO'D after the fight. Tyson KD Douglas and he wasn't badly hurt,he followe the count and rose at 8 after banging his glove on the canvas in disgust. Don King is the most shameful thing that ever happened in boxing. I for one am so glad that he controlls no real top fighters and is out of the HW picture.

because buster douglas loves pie! he would fit in brilliantly in this era of blob heavyweights but in the late 80's early 90's he was toast.

Buster Douglas was before his time.

he did but his pie to roid ratio was 10-1 so the effects were nullified

[richardt]

Fought Holyfield, went inactive, and then went into a diabetic coma and it went downhill from there.

he comes from a long line of successful Busters.
