    Is this single punch the most underrated in history?

    Enjoy these forums guys, as well as the multitude of knowledge here. Buster Douglas gets tremendous credit..and rightfully so for a complete masterful performance and domination of Iron Mike Tyson. In doing so, does the enormity of his accomplishment consistently over a ten round period overshadow that uppercut he landed to Mike in the 10th? IMO that was the single most underrated punch in boxing history, what say you?http://youtube.com/watch?v=LyELOj00xIg

      I didn't pay much attention to the punches the first time i watched this because i was just shocked at the way tyson went down, but looking at it again it was one hell of a punch.

        I think the most underated punch in history is probably the uhammad ali anchor punch. Or phantom punch what ever u wanna call it. It seems to have been kinda forgotten to history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzWynvBLJ4I

        This is underated but its not the best punch of all time. That title goes to marciano vs wallcott.

          of all the credit that mike gets the thing i rarely see people point out is that IMO he has one of the best chins in the history of the heavyweight era....

          i cant think of too many guys... maybe vitali and mercer... that would have been able to stand up to the bombs douglas was throwing long enough to get genuinely knocked the **** out....

          the fact that tyson actually put his mouthpiece back in and began to stand up after that combination was a miracle inside of itself

              Thanks Hitman I value your opinion and feel the same way. Mike has been Kod after that but he hasnt ever been KOd like Buster did him. That uppercut put Mike on ***** street for a long time even after the ref completed his ten count.

                  he took one hell of a beating against lennox lewis too, in hindsight its actually kinda nuts that tyson stood up to it for that long when he was obviously out of the fight and out on his feet....

                  it kinda reminded me of the scene in raging bull where robinson TKO's lamotta and lamotta wont go down.... tyson did go down but it was as if he wanted to say to lennox "here i am, beat my ass all you want, but i wont quit" which is something (a little heart) that tyson never displayed on any other occasion after the douglas fight.
