Whether Tyson had an off night or not, I think one of the greatest shames of 90s boxing is that Buster only showed up like that once. Every time I watch that fight he just looks so good.

Douglas was on the rise prior to facing Tyson. He had a decent winning streak and comfortably handled Berbick and McCall just before Tyson. The fact, that he declined right after Tyson, doesn't necessarily points, that he wasn't good before. In the late 80s he looked like a competetive matchup for everyone.

He stopped Mike Williams with the same nasty ko combo on the Tyson/spinks card. Anyone who saw that knew what he was capable of.

I gave him no chance until after rd1.
