    Mike Tyson v. Buster Douglas

    Astrologically speaking, Tyson's chart was superior to Douglas'. Yet Douglas scored the upset.

    Other factors contributed to the upset like:

    * Mike Tyson was dealing with personal turmoil outside of the ring
    * Mike Tyson was no longer training seriously
    * Mike Tyson's team was unbelievably incompetent at the time
    * Buster Douglas used the death of his mother as motivation

    Astrology has to be used with the mindset "if all things are even..."

    As you know in boxing as well as life, all things aren't always even going into a given event.
    In other words if you call a fight based on astrology and you are correct you will say it was astrology, and if you're wrong you will blame other factors?

    Yeah, sounds about right.

      So, how about it?

        as i have addressed in this thread if in fact you did read though it.


        it's ALMOST impossible to peg someone based on impression. a lot of people throw up projections. extremely feminine signs over-compensate masculinity while masculine signs are naturally hot headed and stubborn. and of course there's the whole natal chart aspects.


        that is why astrology is relevant in boxing. where peak condition athletes who trained the same craft with the same drive to succeed are pitted against one another...... what's left to analyze is their heart, will and mental toughness. no pretentions or projections or false bravados. fighters are stripped naked that way.

                    Holy crap! I remember this thread! It's still up and actually doing good! 6-0?

                    Toss-up fights?

                    Would you consider Hopkins/Pascal 2 a toss-up fight? If so, who wins?

                    I'd mention Cotto/Mayorga and Pacquiao/Mosley, but they're not considered toss-up fights, are they?

                    I can't think of an upcoming competitive fight besides the one I just mentioned.
