TOTAL RESPECT TO DOUGLAS

Tyson made his career beating less than stellar fighters, blown up light heavyweights and many tomato cans. When he fought skilled boxers who were legitimate heavyweights, he had a difficult time. Douglas was the first, but then came Hloyfield and Lewis. They all pummeled him.

Stop making excuses for Mike Tyson, and give credit to the all the great fighters who made good decisions.

3:15 Take a good look at Holyfield's face. He knows Tyson was talking smack and he was waiting for the opportunity to wipe the floor with Mike back then. Evander wanted Tyson back in 1991, but Don King didn't want his cash cow getting beat down. Don King knew that Holyfield was going to beat Tyson and banked on Tyson making an example of Douglas to intimidate Holyfield. As we all know, that ploy didn't work (Holyfield then defeated Douglas). Holyfield always knew he could beat Tyson and his patience paid off.

If they're gonna make a movie 'bout someone it should be Douglas! ....Man what a great Cinderella story....Even better than Braddocks imo!

People act like Buster couldnt fight. For a big dude, he had visible skill, he had a plan in there, he executed that plan the entire fight until he had the knockdown. Then got desperate. He had nothing to lose.

This fight was fixed. Buster Douglas was down for 13 seconds after the Tyson uppercut.

Tyson got the same count as Douglas.

14:00 Buster needed the judge’s help or he would’ve been counted out. Even with the slow counting, Buster wasn’t all the way up at nine -still defenceless and disorientated!

Wasn't disoriented at all. He slammed his glove down in anger at himself for getting caught then proceeded to watch the refs count until climbing to his feet when required. He did exactly what a fighter should do. Not sure what you were watching.

Yeah the thirteen second count had nothing to do with him winning… ref blew it picking up the count from the ringside ref. He should have never been around to answer the bell in round 9, but that’s boxing. There was nothing malicious about it, just an error that could happen at any time.

He was a very simple person no show while entering the ring.

This is a perfect storm. Robin Givens, Don King, Rooney, Mike himself, Buster Douglas. All those factors defeated Mike.

Iron man never lost a fight 37 straight wins and that fight was unpredictable. He was the best

Not taking anything away from Buster Douglas but Tyson defeated himself. Once he fired Kevin Rooney, that was it for him.

Iron MIKE---- good, great boxer. But nobody can be eternally successful. There does come time,eventually,eventually - defeated.

The title is wrong, the fight didn’t destroy Tysons career. It was the decision to leave Catskills for Kings management, under pressure from Givens and King himself and his messed up personal life. Those factors are most probably what derailed his career. It heavily impacted his commitment, work intensity, and discipline of mind in training. After he left Catskills in late 1988/ early 1989 his aura of invincibility was living on borrowed time especially after he fired Rooney. All he had was a delusional attitude that he was Superman and could party, miss training sessions and still be a great fighter and even that mindless attitude was encouraged by his wife Givens and Don King. The wheels were already coming off his wagon since his 1st fight against Frank Bruno under Kings management, Douglas was his 3rd fight, the disastrous outcome was inevitable.

That fight didn't destroy his career at all what a ridiculous pathetic headline. He came back and beat Tillman and Stewart easily. Stewart whose only loss was to Holyfileld on a cut after a [predictable head clash. Then he won two toe to toe with big punching undefeated number 2 contender Ruddock. Jail ruined Tysons career because it meant no Holyfield fight yet he still won back the WBC then WBA belts a few months after leaving prison.

You can see pre couch plan went out the other ear..

Don King destroyed Tyson's career.

What happened with sport after year 2005 or so? Boxing, basketball, racing were so much popular before that time. Now its all crap.

Why do you dolts refuse to learn the rules of boxing? Is it some point a pride for you guys to spew ignorance over and over again on the Internet? That’s not how the count works, shit for brains. They don’t count it in seconds on a watch. If that were the case they would have a timer at the side of the ring that would go off every single time a fighter hits the canvas. Learn the rules, dim wit. Moreover, Mike Tyson got the exact same speed of count when he got knocked on his ass by that beautiful buster Douglas right cross, so stay mad, but at the end of the day, Mike Tyson got eviscerated and there’s nothing you can do about it.

​@@laveritaforza108 Exactly. I am amazed how few people know this. Douglas was clear eyed and waiting for that exact moment to jump up. I will say in Foreman/Ali big George was not seriously hurt when knocked down ( he was pretty spent though ) but he was looking to his corner for the signal to get up and his corner was obviously off from the refs count because he got up too late. George never made any excuse about the count but he did complain about the loose ropes for a while. Later he admitted he needed an excuse and the ropes was as good as anything he could think about.

0:10 u mean 33 years ago, no 29...

Tyson doesn’t deserve his recent surge in popularity. He squandered his considerable, God gifted talent. By the way, he never beat any great fighters (over the hill Larry Holmes doesn’t count); average fighters (Buster, Douglas, Ruddock, Botha) either beat him or gave him all kinds of problems and the great fighters he did face cold whipped his ass. Tyson doesn’t deserve to be considered an all time great. He had the talent to be that but great fighters make great choices. Tyson consistently made the most moronic choice. That’s on him. Boxing is not just athleticism and power, it’s a mental game. He never had that part of the game down to a science. Cus’ knew that when he died Tyson would degenerate. Firing Rooney was the most idiotic decision imaginable. Tyson was logically and tactically illiterate. Greatness was never truly his. Stay mad.

This was the fight of Mike Tyson s life that he could be hurt and he could be beat this was the best fight here cos all Tyson s apoments were beat when they got in with him buster Douglas stud toe to toe with him and giv it to him and won Mike was never the same after that then that gave the rest of his apoments confidence then that he could be beat and that's what happened

You know what, i have a problem with the alleged Rape case, against Mike, not saying it isn't true, rape it a really bad thing, and i do feel for the victims... But only an animal in the jungle, would do such a thing, and Mike was King of the Jungle, i don't even think, that he knows, just how many women he has slept with, i know it must be hard for all of you to understand, but why would he rape someone ?? When he literally just had to snap his fingers, and Puf, here you go Champ, if you don't like, send back, and we'll send new, or he could just go for a walk, within 500.000 meters, he would find someone to sleep with, it just doesn't make any sense to me, and it doesn't have to... - Stay Blessed - - Peace - 🙏❤✌

Even if Tyson didn’t rape her, the fact that he put himself in those kinds of situations and lived that kind of lifestyle is part of the reason he was never a great fighter and shouldn’t be considered as such. People don’t understand that part of being great in any sport is the decisions you make, not just the athletic ability that God imbues you with. Tyson consistently made the worst possible decision as his career progressed and he deserves the ignominy that comes with that. Instead we just have all these morons who continue to run interference and make excuses for his idiocies. Blame everyone but Mike Tyson if that’s what you want to do but I don’t fall for it. As for why he would rape her, did it ever cross your mind that Tyson, getting all these women whenever he wanted, gave him a sense of power that made someone refusing his desires unimaginable to him? Maybe he felt that this woman had no right to say no to him. A man’s ego can play all kinds of tricks on his morals. That should be obvious, but Mike Tysons fans rarely if ever think rationally about anything.

Mike got comfortable with this fight slept on Douglas and got put to sleep . Wonder why they never fought again.

No, Mike Tyson just wasn’t as great as people think he was. It’s not a coincidence that when he actually started facing top shelf fighters in their prime, he was consistently being beaten,. If you think beating Larry Holmes way past his prime is some kind of proof of Tysons greatness then I feel for you. This senseless, latter day reconsideration of Mike Tyson as some kind of all time great, heavyweight is pure comedy. I guess that’s how it works with celebrities though. No matter how badly these people behave or how thoroughly they humiliate themselves and disgrace the sport people will look back and try to reimagine them as geniuses and all-time greats. It’s completely delusional.

Right after this fight Douglas went back to being the underachiever he had been. He came into the Hollyfield fight out of shape and Evander easily took the title. Buster faded away after that and Mike was about to begin his time in prison. If only Buster would have had the mentality to stay focused and train like hell for every fight, I think he possibly could have been a great champion. For one fight we got to see what he could do when motivated. His jab was simply amazing that night. But really everything he did was good. His legs were definitely ready for a long fight and he really dominated 90% of the fight. Tyson probably won two rounds and one of those was really even.

The biggest mistake Tyson made in his career was letting Rooney go. Rooney was HUGE for Tyson in his corner. He always had Tyson splendidly and properly trained and conditioned for his fights. Had IRON Mike Tyson ignored Don King and kept Kevin Rooney as his trainer, Tyson probably would have gone undefeated, breaking Rocky Marciano's record of 49-0, and retiring as the best ever.
