{quote]its not just my opinion. it was the opinion of every sportswriter and broadcaster who saw this fight. [/quote]
Did you personally speak to every sports writer? Some called it a good fight cause it proved that Tyson had weaknesses, was it competitive? Not really but Smith did hurt tyson in the early rounds and had him wobbled enough for Tyson to not fight out of the clinches. Smith just didn't have the granite chin that Holyfield had so he wasn't able to take the chance of catching a shot while throwing repeated combo's. Smith set the blueprint on how to beat tyson, rocked tyson early on and was competitive enough to last 12 rounds with the 1 round KO machine. Neither was overly dominant. It wasn't a classic but a defining fight for the future cause it showed many of Tysons flaws that would be used by Douglas and Holy later on.
