No, Lenox, you did not fight Mike in his prime. By the time he faught Bruno and The Truth his best days were behind him. Sure, he still beat some talented guys after that, but it was no longer the Mike Tyson of old -- the magic was gone.
I don't care who disagrees w that, I watched his career from day one and the ingredients that made Mike so good was his jab (yes, Tyson's jab was solid, don't get it twisted), extrodinary head movement, and footwork. In the period I mentioned, those skills had escaped him. When he faught Buster he was on the decline and turned into a one dimensional head hunter. By the time he saw Lewis he was an entirely different fighter.
