Tyson vs. Donald Haplin. LMAO

Lots of people probably haven't seen this fight but Tyson hit Haplin into the ropes and Haplin bounced off and Tyson hit him again.

Maybe it's just funny to me but that damn sure was entertaining.

I have to say that the Tyson that lost to Buster was nowhere near the Tyson that reigned supreme. Tyson was a shell of his former self. I'm not saying he was to old or anything (24) far from it. He was just not near prepared for the fight. Rooney was off the scene and Tyson was more into partying than training. The Tyson of old would have KO'd Buster fairly easily...
He should still have been able to beat a guy who nobody fancied and who had taken the bout at short notice himself. Tyson was a top fighter for a limited amount of time. Plenty of fighters get caught being over confident but they get themselves together again. Tyson was physically awesome but mentally he didn't have what it takes to be a true great.

Tyson V Douglas :TU:

Tyson may have lost but in that fight he showed he had what many have claimed he didn`t have.

Its all too easy to judge Tyson on the post prison fights but as he has admitted recently, he just didn`t really want to be doing it.

This fight was the very last of the real Mike Tyson, the very last bits of a wonderful fighting man, he had lost some of the moves but as of then he had not lost any of the repect he`d had for the sport :(

when Cus died, I think it messed him up for good. He didn't have anyone to calm him down.
