Conditioning had nothing to do with it, Tyson wasn't even tierd in the fight with Buster Douglas at all, Mike just can't fight on the outside and was getting beat on the inside, because he just came across a better al around Boxer who was finally in shape, Conditioning had nothing to do with Mike"s limited offensive abilities like short arms and being 5 ft 11 and not being able to outbox someone on the outside and not being able to outbox someone on the inside.
Their is no way Mike is winning this fight unless he gets lucky with a power punch, but Buster could take his power like Evander did. Mike even hit Buster with some great power shots and Buster still kept coming at Mike knowing he would get hit, Mike could win at least 2 fights out of 10 against Douglas but Tyson would never beat Douglas, like Buster Douglas beat Mike, never, ever, Buster will always beat Tyson"s ass every time they fight each other book it.
Watch the Hole fight again, Mike gets his ass beat, big time and Tyson wasn't even tierd in this fight, he actually fought the same way in fights before this and even fought the same way after this, the only thing is he got the knockout in the wins after this fight.
I did the same thing you are doing with Mike and I am a big Tyson fan, I said he wasn't in-flight shape or not 100% mentally ready, because i was young and didn't understand Boxing styles and certain fighters natural God given advantages and ability. Until i learned more and watched the Evander vs Tyson fight and Bowe vs Holyfield fight and watched the Lennox Lewis vs Tua fight and more then I understood styles and advantages in the Ring in the Streets aka Street fighting and in MMA/UFC fighting. lets agree to disagree<45><45>
Certain fighters can just never beat other fighters unless they get lucky with an injury or a freak knock out, that's just the way it is .
Watch these full fights and learn, like i did.
Lennox Lewis v s David Tua
If David Tua fought Lennox Lewis 10 times, Lennox would win 10 of the 10 fights, if Lennox was 100% when they fight. Because Tua is to limited in his style and to handicapped with his short arms and short body, he can't beat Lennox on the outside and never will and he can't beat Lennox on the inside, because Lennox is to gifted of a boxer.
Tyson vs Douglas FULL FIGHT
Mike got his ass beat in this fight, no excuses, Mike wasn't even winded and had good legs and got up from that upper-cut, right hand, with shaky but strong legs, but was out on his feet.
Mike had 2 chances to beat this man Holyfield, at 31 years old what makes anybody think he's doing it in a 3rd fight or when he was a little younger, Tyson was only 31 years old at the time, with no symptoms of brain trauma, like Riddick Bowe after the Golota fight., the only problem Mike had was acting stupid like a thug.
Mike Tyson - Evander Holyfield 1
Mike Tyson Vs Evander Holyfield 2 1997
When that knock out doesn't come and you can't fight on the outside and outbox your opponents, what then do you do Mike Tyson? Bit someones ear off and then claim fouls. Tyson will never beat Evander, he had 2 tries and he didn't even last 12 rounds each time.
