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.

Good friend visited Mike Tyson at his Clevelan mansion to help with muscle rehab. He was a chiropractor. Tysons Tigers were just cubs Tyson was a very congenial host. He waited in the large living room and was alone with the tiger cubs. They had the full run of the house. He was calm about it but said the cats had horrible toilet manners. Mike Tyson loved those cats. It was a unique experience for my friend. He thought it was interesting and he enjoyed it, but not the smell. Mile Tyson is a MAN CHILD in the most respectful manner.
