Interesting story, douglas was in great shape while tyson was knocked down by sparring partner greg page a week before fight week, he didn't even train.

@jamescliffordrauch9137 He wasn't even in shape and cut weight since he weighed around 255 and cut to 240 pounds during fight week, he ate soup to lose weight and the sparring sessions were done but he looked sloppy and got beat up... All were red flags, I saw it already when he walked into Bruno's uppercut in 89 with no jab or setups. He declined fast after firing trainer Kevin Rooney after the Spinks fight in 88. Saying that Tyson really trained for the Douglas fight is like saying that Douglas was in the best shape of his life and trained hard against Holyfield, which isn't true at all...

@jamescliffordrauch9137 Tyson used to blow up between fights and even got up to around 260-280 pounds during the 80s. He cut down to 240 pounds before fight camp started. It's a big difference being in fight camp and the weight the fighters walk around at. In case you didn't know, no heavyweight fights at the weight he walks around at because being in fight shape is different. Nobody is in fight shape 365 days... Heavyweights back in the days used to cut weight, and they do it much less now.
