      greatriffishere your 100% right, Tyson prime was so quick, so powerful, so elusive, I thought he was near on invincible at the time. But lifestyle and lack of discipline and dedication to training and keeping fit led to his decline as a fighter. Tyson's biggest enemy didn't face him in the ring, but the one who faced him in the mirror.

He is also the Contest prep coach/ aka diet and steroid guru of 8 time Mr. Olympia Champion Ronnie Coleman who just the year prior to working with Chad was placing toward the back of the pack as far as contest placing went. The very next year Ronnie won the Olympia title and then 8 straight titles in total. Go figure. Not rain on the parade of these great champions , just happen to be a bodybuilding fan and boxing fan as well so it's well known in the BB industry. . Another fun fact is that Evander Holyfield's hired a stength coach who happens to be another former 8 time Mr. Olympia champion named Lee Haney , whom he hire for the purpose of bulking up to move up from his old weight division to the heavy division.

      XD. You're just another clown who didn't watch the fights and believes in that boo-hoo crap Larry cried about after the fight. In the 1st fight, Larry got schooled worse than he did against Witherspoon, only this time the judges were watching the fight. Considering the Witherspoon and Williams fights, Larry shouldn't have even been 48-0 in the first place.
