I have greta sympathy for tyson , he was detsroyed by gold diggers.....evander story may end up the same way as hes frittered his $350 million on women
The bit in bold is absolutely spot as an assessment of Tyson as a fighter. In the holyfield fight Tyson couldn't adapt his style and let the smaller Holyfield push him around the ring. Tyson just let his do it without any answer. Tyson kept loading up big single shots that Holyfield took and successfully countered dueto Tyson lack of defensive skills. Tyson is no GOAT. Never.
