re: Mike Tyson still got it

Yes, yes, yes. But he didn't handle success for whatever reasons and his career was shortened and tarnished because of it.

When things were going his way inside the ring Tyson was a machine ,but the moment he got fustrated by an opponent:


1) He quit in Holyfield II
2)Tyson is on tape asking to quit on his stool in the Lewis fights after Rd 7. His corner begged him to go back in.

3) he quit like a dog again in his last fight.

I can't imagine Ali/ Frazier/ Marciano/ Louis begging out of 2 Championship fights & quitting on their stools like a dog. Multiple times.

He was only forced to fight Evander because Evander was vocal in making Tyson face his judgement day to the public every chance he got. Tyson dodged him for years after thier first encounter in the GYM.

It's even worse. Tysons camp fought him because at the time many thought Holyfield was nearly shot/ and had retired for a congenital heart disease:

1)Holyfield had lost his last of of 3 battles with Bowe in a Ko.
2) Lost the belt 2 years earlier to Michael Moorer
3) retired immediately after Moorer due to heart


Tyson's camp( avoided Lewis) but saw Holyfield who had taken some punishment in the Bowe fights & Koed , , more mileage / punches taken in the Ring , 4 years older than Mike & coming off 2 losses in his last 4 fights & a congenital heart disease,etc...


That Holyfield knocked out Tyson & made him quit in the rematch . It seems Tyson( known for quitting fights) was the fighter with the " heart " condition. Not Holyfield.
