Cause Tyrell was an accomplished amateur. But the pros ain't no amateurs. Biggs didn't face any remarkable opposition before Tyson. After that nearly every top guy bashed him out.coghaugen11 wrote: ↑16 Jul 2020, 16:27Tyson finished Tyrell, who was predicted by many to beat Tyson.DrDuke wrote: ↑16 Jul 2020, 15:48Biggs was stopped by nearly every top fighter he faced.

Biggs was also doing enough coke to kill a particularly robust hippo, his handlers knew that and so cashed out earlyDrDuke wrote: ↑16 Jul 2020, 16:32Cause Tyrell was an accomplished amateur.
