The "Real" Fights
Atlas claims that Tyson's losses, which came at the hands of Buster Douglas, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, and Danny Williams, were the only true fights of his Hall-of-Fame career. He argues that a fight is only a fight when there is resistance and something to overcome, and Tyson failed in all five of these instances.
A Shell of His Former Self
Towards the end of his career, Tyson suffered defeats to Brit Danny Williams and journeyman Kevin McBride. Tyson himself admitted that the final fight of his career was nothing more than a payday.
