"It is impossible to KO Tyson"

[McGrain]

From Tyson-Douglas: The Inside Story of the Upset of the Century:

"Just weeks before the [Douglas] fight a major sports magazine claimed that Tyson's unique physical make up actually made it impossible for him to be knocked out."

Anyone have the article? Anyone have any idea what the specifics they spoke off?

Any observations about the mythical status Tyson enjoyed generally at this point in his career?

Probably something to do with his short neck. Mercer style.

The neck

[Russell]

Strong legs.

Well, strong thighs. His god damn ankles were freakishly small.
