To some extent, I blame Don King. When tysonw was with D'Amato, AI thought he might be one of the best fighters ever. He had it all. Amazing punch, speed, great footwork. Couldn't hit his head, couldn't hurt his body. When D'Amato dies, and Tyson went with King, all he had was the punch. He came straight in, fists close together in front of his jaw.
I laughed when King said Tyson would fight Foreman. First, coming straight in against Big George is way up on the stupid scale. Next, Foreman is much taller than Tyson, and if Tyson protects his jaw instead of bobbing ans weaving, Foreman would just start hitting Tyson in the forehead. He wouldn't last long.
Now, Tyson needs the money, so he has his tour, but has become a self parody, a sad, unfunny joke. Wasted talent.
Though I do like the Mike Steele for Senate shirt. Steele is a good man.
