    So which was the bigger fluke?

    We all know both khan and tyson were more than capable of beating their opponents

    Khan-Prescott

    is not even close...It was just 1 round and Khan got caught cold...

    Tyson-Douglas was just a great gameplan by guy who was not going to be denied that night. He was running high on a emotion due to his mother passing going into the fight. He got up after being drop. And, went to business in the next rounds. Wasn't really phase by it.

        Neither was a fluke, there are no flukes in boxing. Just mistakes that were exploited/capitalized on.

        Khan just wasn't ready to face a big, strong, and tall lightweight that had good power, decent hand-speed, and counter-punching ability like Prescott. Kid was getting buzzed, hurt, and dropped by feather-fisted, blown up, Featherweights and Jr. Lightweights.

        Tyson just wasn't ready for a motivated, determined, once in a lifetime performance Buster Douglas. Buster just outboxed him and outfought him. He showed phenomenal stamina (with his output and foot movement), followed a great gameplan (shooting that fast hard jab constantly and catching Tyson with hard counter power punches whenever Mike got brave), and skills.

            I still say Douglas should've been counted out in what was it, the 7th or 8th?

                  I just gotta wonder how different his career would've been had he not "lost" to Douglas. Maybe he wouldn't have gone to prison either.
