yeah I think thats it.That since they were now rich beyond their wildest dreams now that they didnt go all out and put their hearts and souls into it.Just were satisfied with having it out there.I think what happened to them is best illustrated with Mike Tyson as an example.Tyson got to the point where he was beating so many fighters all the time in his fights that he got complacent and relaxed when he fought Buster Douglass.
Tyson wasnt hungry anymore and thought it would just be another cake walk so he stopped training really hard like he did in the past when he first came out and got complacent.Douglass was hungry at the time and knocked Tyson out.
For real. Cant take it away from Douglas, what he did there that Tokyonian night. He fought absolutely with textbook prescision that night and the force was definitely with him. But Tyson without that speedy aggressive lateral movement on the way in like he had in his prime, he always gonna be doomed against a man that quick and big compared to he that night.
I wonder how the fight would have been in say 1985...
I say both 1985 Tyson and the Douglas that beat Tyson that night, should go to work on the writers of Indy IV for 20 mins.
But cant you hear the Gophers referring to each other with pitched squeaks...? And the gentle cracking of the vines being swung on by Mutt's secret army of the 12-dozen monkeys...?
