Buster Douglas comeback fight against Louis Monaco

[Kid McCoy]

I disagree with you there I think Douglas was an overachiever that had his short comings exposed by a great champ in Holyfield. Even if Douglas stayed around the top tier after the Holy loss do you really think he'd beat Lewis, Bowe, Moorer? I think he had one great moment, made millions off it and got out a bit late, but good luck to him that's the dream of all prizefighters to retire with a pocketful of cash.

I'd put Douglas in the same category as Bowe - hugely talented, but inattentive to training and overly fond of junk food. Wasted really. He fought Tony Tucker for the vacant IBF title three years prior to Tyson, and was winning before running out of steam and throwing in the towel.

The Douglas Holyfield beat bore no comparison to the one who beat Tyson. After the high of Tyson he went back to his old habits and turned up for the Holyfield fight fat and unmotivated and quickly got himself KO'd.

Yeah I agree with that, Bowe and Douglas had alot in common, both talented, both beat great champions, both pissed away their chance at the top. I think to a lesser degree you could add Briggs to that category too.
