When did Tyson's prime end?

[them_apples]

it ended when he lost. Because he was exciting he get's put on a pedestal.

He was 24 when he got KTFO and never avenged it, then he lost to anyone good there after.

In his "prime" he fought cans and dudes pulled out of retirement for a paycheque with no tune up or any will to fight.

What about the wins over Razor at the time? Razor was a very highly regarded contender.

it was obvious he wasnt himself after prison.

He was, and he is often put on the scrap heap now, but he was very highly regarded.

Tyson got to a point where he could have been much better but simply went the other way, hence he never hit a prime.

I remember when Lewis KO'd Razor it was a huge statement in the division.

Halloween night and it ended early enough where I ran out to trick or treat afterwards.

With Douglas fight. Douglas is the only man that beat prime Tyson.

[Brother Mouzone]

I think the end of his prime came in slowly not all at once certain events combined ended his prime.
1) Cus dying
2) Don King getting his hands on him
3) Robin Givens
4) Getting rid of Rooney
It all came together in the Douglas fight , I mean the corner work he had in that fight was pathetic.

After the Wlad fight. He became king of the *****s and having a drink and a line with every one of them ruined him.

in prison. He ruined his frame packing on unnecessary muscle. The man used to be conditioned for 15 rounders, and freaky slick, but it was patently obvious he was struggling before the championship rounds and forgetting (or unable to keep up for long) to throw in bunches in his 2nd coming.

He admitted that after he came out of jail he didnt care about boxing, he just wanted to make money
