Hoyfield did the same, in their first fight. But yeah, he certainly was exciting, especially before the last few years of his career. What fighter likes getting beat up though? It's true he lost at a very young age at 23 but he'd been champ for over 3 years, it's well documented that he had been off the rails for a while before his loss. Maybe Douglas would have always been a stylistic nightmare for him but let's not forget he almost beat Douglas as well despite having his issues and having a shocking camp. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just always got the feeling that if he wasn’t doing that he’d have been in a warehouse somewhere fighting anybody......he comes across as one horrible human being and for me, they make the most exciting fighters because they are just naturally violent. I don’t know the first thing about the intricacies of boxing at all so that’s just a “watch it on the telly” blokes opinion. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the people who really know Tyson claim he is a piece of work and a master manipulator, Teddy Atlas is an egomaniac himself but I like to think he is a honest man. Tyson did a lot of bad things as a teen but a lot of it was brushed under the carpet as he was a star in the making. I think the same happened once he became champion until he could no longer be excused after the rape incident. He has always had problems with violence towards women, maybe it stems from his mother being a prostitute, the facts are not everybody with a bad upbringing turn bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fame and money to a young mike tyson like petrol on a bonfire. He was opposite to the likes of lennox lewis or joshua. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
