what if tyson didn't go to jail

[deemo]

did we miss the prime tyson or was he already on the down side of his career?
would we would have seen him beat holyfield, bowe, lewis? maybe blow away morrison before lewis, get back at douglas, make many millions more.
what do you guys think? would he be considered the greatest or what do you think happens?
i think we missed his prime for sure and could have gone on to see some spectacular knockouts if he didnt go to jail. i think he learned his lesson in the douglas fight about underestimating people and would have been awesome in the 90's.

His downfall was twofold; jail and leavin his origianal camp. He coulda done much more if he hadn't lost 3yrs of prime time rottin away in a cell. I think he still coulda beaten Holyfield in 1991. The Bowe who fought Holyfield the 1st time could beat him, but on the whole I'd say Tyson>Bowe. Lennox couldn't have handled him then and Moorer woulda been KTFO. Douglas was outta the pic as soon as he lost the belts to Holy, but if they rematched, surely Mike woulda KO'd him. Without the jail time, I think Mike's res would be much better and he would definitely be higher up in the ATG ratings of everyone. Hell, we mighta even got to see him against Foreman, which woulda been ill even tho he'd probably lose that one.

i'm gonna disagree on a prime tyson losing to an old foreman. maybe a prime foreman .but just because he beat frazier like he did i don't see it that way. i know most people think that and go back to the frazier fight as evidence.

what if pretty much sums up tysons legacy, he achieved a lot as it is, but there always be "what ifs" in regards to if he didnt go to prison, didnt leave his original camp, if cus didnt die..........
