New Rule: 20 Second Count Out?

Oh man, i disagree. When Don King was counting the seconds when they made the appeal, Tyson got up at 9 seconds but they counted him out!! I guess we'll never know, maybe you're right though, Tyson probably would have got stopped on his feet coz i reckon his heart and pride would have got him up before 10 seconds. I meant it wouldn't have made a difference. Tyson was getting beaten up towards the end, Buster had been knocked down and Tyson couldn't finish the job. Douglas could NOT miss with that jab.

We are in a blood sport... not playing Tennis... Ohh.. that's true. I think it would be even better, if it was a fight to the death though. Then the real man truly "wins."

that's a great idea for increasing the rate of concussions per year in boxing leading to more James Toneys We are in a blood sport... not playing Tennis...

no way man a lot of fights woulda ended up in a decision if anything we need smaller gloves like teh ones from mma

it wouldnt have made a difference in this fight, he never even got the 10 count.......... True, but nor would Sprott in the 2nd fight...

Douglas was winning the Tyson fight, it wouldn't have changed anything really. Meldrick Taylor may have got the decision over Chavez. Oh man, i disagree.

But awesome! It would be nuts to see someone out for 10, get 5 to recover a little, and make it back up by 20 count... I dont know how it would affect some of history's fights, but it sure sounds dangerous and exciting! lol Hell yehhhhh it would be dangerous, but the excitement would be out of this world!!!! Just imagine Cotto taking 2 knees against Margarito, roughly 38 seconds to recover, and then imagine him come back to brutally knock him out?

Do you think that 18 seconds is enough for a fighter to clear his head?
