re: Rewatching this Tyson vs Buster fight

Yeah but as we know once Douglas won that first fight he wasn’t beating Tyson a second go round

After Holyfield beat him and once Tyson knew he was screwed in the rematch in the first two rounds...he did everything he could to get out of that fight.

Ergo, the ear biting.

People say oh, he went crazy...no he didn't, that was calculated to be DQ'd so he wouldn't lose his aura and save face.

Once Tyson lost to Douglas and he couldn't put his next opponents down in the first few rounds he was like get me outta here.

I don't know why he's so revered. Maybe because we grew up with him. But to the old fighters, he lacked heart...wasn't that great skill wise, and was all about intimidation. Once that cover was blown by Douglas, he became an average adversary...that couldn't hurt big tall guys who knew how to box.
