Did Mike Tyson ever beat a real great boxer at his prime?

The Tyson of 1988 still needed a little more experience but for the most part he would dominate anyone put in front of him. Even Bert Sugar rates the 1988 Tyson above every other heavyweight in history. There's a misconception that Mike Tyson lost against Buster Douglas, Evander Holyfield, etc., but the real Mike Tyson died in 1988.

The Tyson after Don King gained control and fired Kevin Rooney was nothing more than a small heavyweight softy, a complete joke. He abandoned the peek-a-boo style, tactics, and philosophy that made him so deadly and became just another half-assed boxer who rarely even trained. But 1988 and before, Mike would crush any man.

After 1988, Don King made Tyson fire one of the best trainers on earth (Kevin Rooney, the only trainer on earth who would put fire under Mike's ***), so Tyson stopped proper boxing training and dieting, and began just lifting weights, eating cakes, and screwing women instead. He stopped throwing combinations of punches to his opponents and instead just relied on one power punch to do the job. He became a head-hunter and stop throwing punches to the body of his opponents, only focusing on hitting their head.

Tyson stopped counterpunching. In his prime, he was one of the best (if not the best) counterpunchers in the sport of boxing, but he also abandoned this philosophy and style as well, and when he did try counterpunching, his timing was so horrendous that it was futile. He stopped slipping punches (or when he rarely did, he wasn't very good at it because he didn't train for it at all anymore).

He also stopped moving his head. This is what made a prime Tyson so hard to hit, but alas, he stopped doing this after June of 1988. So therefore, the true Mike Tyson didn't exist after 1988.

In final, he completely abandoned the Cus D'Amato Peek-a-Boo style that was 100% perfect for him, and just became another small heavyweight (a joke, at that). People say these are excuses, but if they can't even tell the difference between the 1988 Tyson and the 2002 one, well then I don't even think it's worth trying to convince them. Although in 1988, he was only roughly at 7/10 of his potential and still blooming, he could have beat everyone on earth if things didn't go as they went in his life.

Tyson was the best boxer of all time. Tyson would of done Ali inside of 5 rounds if they ever boxed!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
