That is great that they met up over 20 years after the huge upset.

I remember Tyson saying in his movie that he had not seen him since the fight.

Tyson should hit that mother****er with a left hook to the body followed by a left uppercut. For old times sake of coarse.

Mike and Buster's Reunion

God Bless them both. To see fighters live their sport competing against each other and understand that boxing is a sport and that what happens in the ring happens in the ring, and is not meant to dictate their humanity and brotherhood is a beautiful thing.

Tyson would lose again.

douglas instilled fear in tyson for the first time in tyson's life. tyson was rendered helpless by douglass. damn he took some monstrous shots in that fight.

Hopefully Rhodes and Alvarez can meet again in 20 years, I think Canelo will have gotten over his brutal knockout loss by then. Not sure though.

Yeah, it's a shame he didn't make more of his talent aside from that one great performance. Still, Douglas is a nice guy with an interesting story. The book 'The Last Great Fight' is worth a read if you like boxing books.
