Come on lads! your starting to disrespect fighters here. Disrespect each other by all means! but these people are truley sporting legends!

It's kind of hard not point out the fighters shortcomings when his brainwashed minions spout outrageously exaggerated claims about him.

You moronic piece of ****** trash, Iron Man happens to be a friend of mine, collaborator, and debating partner for more than a year. Try reading some back posts before you expose your lack of education. Better yet, go read through the top-ten Heavyweight thread and get a clue.

You got an issue with fighters from the 20s? Or are you one of those narrow minded fan-boys who worship at the alter of modernity?

Oh, and one more thing...

Yes, Douglas beat the count fair and square. But, one thing I never see mentioned (unless it's mentioned in the 28 pages of this thread I didn't read) but have wondered about:

Didn't Tyson beat the count, too? Watching the replay it seems he's up at 9.

I don't blame the ref for stopping it. He was finished, no doubt.

But why was it ruled a KO, rather than a TKO?

Tyson didn't beat the count, lifting your knee(s) and being on your way up does not mean you beat the count, therefore it was a ko.
