Brehs … Mike Tyson was Tank of his day
OK, let me put this simple. His prior management had him fighting against Tillis and then Mitch Greene. He was going to distance with these guys when prior he hadn’t went over six rounds. Tillis ended his knockout streak and and Mitch Greene also went the distance with him
I guarantee you, Don King called during this time and said they shouldn’t have him in there doing 10 rounds against non-contenders, they don’t know what they’re doing. Mike Tyson was already recognized as a generational talent very early.
We’re talking about fight 22 now, this is his first fight under Don King and the guy is literally pretending to act like he doesn’t want the ref to call it off, and just like that Mike Tyson is back knocking people out in the first round
Reggie Gross - this was his first fight under Don King - look it up
Teddy Atlas is a super hater about Tyson but he says Mike Tyson is 0-6, because the only real fights he had were the ones he was tested in
I think there might be something more to that
