Tyson was well past his prime when he fought Holyfield and Lewis. All of those jail sentences screwed him over.

Watch some tapes of the guy in the early 90's/late 80's. Tyson was in tremendous shape, and was actually one of the most intelligent (and most intense) competitors. His intelligence was actually quite underrated. He knew when to jab and when to go for the stunning blow.


In his later years however, he was out of shape. That's why he no longer had the desire to work........he kept looking for the one-punch.

Against Lewis - the man was heavily medicated just a few days before his fight.
