If Buster Douglas had been counted OUT in the 8th.....?

it is a crime though as from Douglas first hitting the canvas to being upright its 14.12 seconds

The greatest crime was WBC and Don king trying to keep the title after the fight. That was an absolute disgrace that they nearly reversed the decision. Corruption of the highest order.

wow, so I guess you're under the erroneous assumption that your statement is somehow a syntactic and syllogistic parallel somehow intended to invalidate the hypothetical beauty of the OP? Why don't you make an intellectual attempt to soundly put a few sagacious sentences together and show the world how luminescent your frontal cortex is?

:chick07mj8:

Whats an OP ?

Other post?

Ordinary person?

If they are not two very big sophisticated words that us peasants have to Google you do realize its a Fail.

He takes it as a learning experience, fires corner, tells King to piss off, quits the nightlife, shuns the cameras and high proile scrambling, has a man to man with Rooney, finds his passion, and starts to throw combinations again :-X

Orrrr
It would have been called a sensational turn around KO by everyone, one for the books. He would have went ahead with fighting Holyfield even more convinced one shot power rules all, with same incompetent corner, and gotten tko'd....But hey,IF frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their asses when they hoped.

This would have been in 1990 and Tyson still had enough to take on and beat a smaller 205lb Holyfield, who only bulked up after the second fight with Bowe.

I don't think any version beats Holyfeild because he was to well rounded. I think Holyfield had his number and not to mention in prime Holyfield was pretty hard to beat.

And a 235 pound Bowe still found it hard to beat a 205 pound Holyfield in their 1st fight. A 215-220 Tyson? I seriously doubt it makes a difference.

Even Cus D'amato boxers like Patterson and Torres said Holyfield just had his number and would whip Tyson at any point of their careers. But hey what would Cus D'amato champions know about boxing or Mike Tyson and his style?

Hmm, if they did say that, they were either being polite not to look biased or they are jealous Mike had more success than they did.

They is no denying Tyson fought alot differently after 4 years out. Whos to say Ali wouldnt have beaten Frazier had their first fight been in the 60's?

Their fight was 10 years after Mike had wan a world title. Then throw in the 4 year absence. The Tyson that fought Rudduck would have walked through Holyfield as lesser fighters almost did.

In any of this, doesn't anyone give Buster Douglas any credit at all? After all, it wasn't Tyson that punched himself in the face and knocked himself out.
