By the way, who the heck is James Tillis? He was the same person Buster Douglas was before he took Mike out of his game plan...a nobody. The only difference with Douglas was that Douglas had more size and better tools to carry out the game plan. Oh, by the way, James Tillis was before Robin Givens too. Had Mike gotten in the ring with Lennox Lewis back in the 80's or early 90's, his rep as a bad ass would've been scrubbed out long ago. If you're looking at someone to blame for Mike's demise start by looking at Mike first. I mean, c'mon, get real. Next thing you know you guys will be accusing Evander Holyfield of putting BBQ sauce on his ear or something. Mike Tyson is responsible for Mike Tyson...PERIOD!

you must be carzy!! Tyson had almost 60 fights and lost 5. Lennox would have lost to Tyson like everyone else pre-Robin Givens....Was he crazy??? Hell yeah but before Custamado died he was the most feared boxer on the planet....but what really killed Tyson is the same thing that destroyed the HW Division.....HW turned into 240lb giants. Mike was only about 5'11 and 220 at the most in his prime. So when he got out of jail he was past his prime and too small...but in his hey day........I feel so robbed becuase we didnt get to see Tyson vs Holyfield before he went to jail....What a fight it could have been
