If Tyson wasn't on drugs, would he have KO'd Douglas easily?

    Reading posts on Youtube saying Tyson was f*cking Japanese prostitutes and getting dropped in sparring before the Douglas fight.
    So how goes it if Tyson was focused? Would it be Tyson in 30 seconds over possessed-Buster or....?

    The version of Douglas that showed up that night in Tokyo still would have given a better in shape more motivated Tyson problems.

    I think Tyson would have beaten him... maybe not easily, but let's say in this magical world that Tyson was in shape and focused (aka Kevin Rooney in his corner) I think he still beats Buster.

    Buster wasn't losing. His mom, the memories of a past failure, his wife leaving him...I just think he was ready to rock and roll that night.

    Douglas gave a great performance, but Tyson also wasn't moving his head, throwing combos, or throwing to the body like he had been doing just a couple years prior. Tyson of '86-'88 struggles a bit with the jab and movement, but gets him out of there eventually.

    Tyson was definitely not at his best, but it was also a great performance from Douglas

    Should be noted as well that Douglas was a really talented fighter to begin with, he was just lazy.

    Tyson would have won, but it would have been his hardest fight up to that point in time.

    I think he would have.

    Even on drugs, he still KO'd him with moderate ease.

    I think so. If Tyson was focused, hungry, trained & didn't have Robin Givens jacking with his head it would have been the usual Tyson KO

    If Tyson had stayed with Rooney and kept up his head movement he's still be champ today. 120-0 (112).

    He almost beat Douglas. That ref gave Buster a long ass count.

    This myth was stomped one week after the fight. Funny it's still thrown around.

    No, not really. We've seen a tonne of myths maintained over time. Poison on gloves, Ray didn't Run, Dempsey robbed vs Tunney, Willard robbed vs Dempsey, etc etc.

    Nothing wrong with that. Probably the only worthwhile thing wald pussy's done since his deer-on-ice-skates impression against Sam Peter
