Well damn the thread was ended in the first post.

Yup, Prime Tyson getting KOed by featherfist Douglas.

In hindsight it shouldn't have come as a big surprise: Douglas was simply too tall (6'3.5'') for Tyson.

KOratio 50%+ = featherfist like Chris Byrd

Tyson has never KOed anyone worth mentioning taller 6'3''. Except for Lou Savarese, but that was a strange KO and Tyson was lucky he wasn't DQed.

Douglas-Tyson will get the most votes but Tyson's decline was apparent. After he left Rooney his skills and Technique started fading. Tyson was also knocked down by Greg Page in sparring for that fight in Tokoyo.

Leonard-Hagler was another. No way a welterweight that has been retired for years could return without a tuneup and beat a dominate middleweight champion who was #1 p4p. Leonards last fight before he retired he was knocked down by Kevin Howard too.
Even if you questioned the decision it was a huge longshot.

Tyson's decline/mindset, or any other factors about the fight or what happened before it, do not take away from it being THE biggest upset in boxing in the past 20 years, if not EVER.

However, Hagler-Leonard is a very good option as well. Leonard never fought above 147, and he came off a five and a half year layoff (virtually) to beat the dominant Middleweight Champion.
