James "Buster" Douglas (born April 7, 1960) is a former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion who scored a stunning upset when he knocked out previously undefeated champion Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990 in Tokyo, Japan. At the time, Tyson was considered to be the best boxer in the world and one of the most feared heavyweight champions in history due to his utter domination of the division. The Mirage Casino in Las Vegas, the only Las Vegas casino to make odds on the fight (all others declining to do so as they considered the fight such a foregone conclusion), had Douglas as a 42 to 1 underdog for the fight, making his victory, in commentator Reg Gutteridge's words, "the biggest upset in boxing history, bar none."
So, yeah, you can imagine the flack I caught after that and the rape case......thanks Mike, I appreciate it mang.

I was barely 1 year old. In hindsight, it's funny looking back at the mid 90s when I became a casual boxing fan because of Tyson. I thought that was Tyson's prime because he was lunatic crazy, but his prime had really happened before I was even born. Too bad heavyweight boxing died in the late 90s. Nothing better than two giants slugging it out.
