[@kevkat12]

Mike Tyson was the most exciting boxer in history when he was in his prime.

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

Funny how Tyson fans only apply the world "prime" to Tyson, but they don't use it for anyone else. When he was undefeated, his fans say that he was in his prime. As soon as he loss for the first time, his fans say that he was no longer in his prime. Yet what his fans never say is that James Buster Douglas also wasn't in his prime when he fought an undefeated Tyson. Buster Douglas had already lost FOUR times, with THREE of those losses coming by TKO. Buster Douglas was also 6 years older than the 23 year old Tyson, and, on top of that, Buster's mother died just three weeks before the fight, interrupting his training. Holyfied, Holmes, and Lewis also were no longer in their primes when they fought Tyson.
