He had a broken right hand when he fought Tyson... He needed the money badly so he went ahead. He might have done the upset instead of Tyson.

Well... he did knock out Buster Douglas to get the Tyson shot... and Mighty Mike didn't put Tucker down or hurt him.

A lot of boxers in that day got caught up in cocaine addiction... It messed up a lot of them and the stuff was everywhere... It's a very strange drug. You think you can handle it -- believe you have a much stronger personality and more willpower than everybody else -- and the drug takes you over.
