He looked terrified before Tyson even came out. He literally looked like he was about to cry. Did that fight expose him as a paper champ?

If you disagree, take the Tyson approach and "Bite me"

I didn't pay much attention to that footage... but what got me was how badly Mike pulverised Trevor Berbick... Dude was a champion, and the blows turned his legs to jelly; he couldn't stand up, no matter how hard he tried!

Bruce Seldon may have been worse...the guy was glancing around at the ceiling during the "stare-down" then went down and stayed down on a puch that barely grazed him.

You know what hurts the most is the... the lack of respect. You know? That's what hurts the most.

Frank Bruno was scared in the 1996 2nd fight, but bizarrely not in the 1st fight when Tyson was a better fighter

Seldom definitely took a dive but Bruno said later that they threatened his family and his life, not sure how much truth there is to that but that was straight from franks own lips

I heard he tried to win Tyson's respect by going at him from the start (against his game plan)

+ The ring actually considers him a better boxer, Michael Spinks belongs in the Light HeavyWeight division
