More shocking. Floyd ko'd by Cotto in the 1st round or Tyson ko'd by Buster?

tyson ko by buster..

You wanted to talk about him being rocked so I showed you Tyson getting rocked, which was a lot worse. Boom!! And I don't see much decline in him. What I do see is less offense but MORE defense. It's not decline it's switching what you were known for when first coming up.


Next...

Heavyweight boxing is a total different ballgame, considering that one solid shot from a 200+ pound boxer can turn your lights out regardless of your chin.

Tyson loss by far.

Both Mayweather and Cotto are top fighters in their generation.

Who the hell knew Buster Douglas before he KO'd Tyson let alone being a 46/1 underdog?

No comparison whatsoever.

Sure it would be huge but no where near as shocking as Tyson getting KO'd.
First of all boxing is not as big as it was in the late 80's-early 90's and Tyson was a bigger star than Floyd will ever be. Imagine if they had the internet and 24/7 for Tyson. It would be insane.
Also Tyson seemed invincible to almost mythic proportions, the thought of him getting stopped was inconceivable.
We have seen Floyd get rocked early by Judah, Hatton, and SSM and if he didn't hold on to shane he would have been knocked down.

Whoever put Floyd/Cotto is obviously new to boxing. It would be big (no doubt) but Tyson/Douglas blows into oblivion.

Tyson was an indestructible force of nature which pulverized anything in its path within 2-3 rounds. Knowledgeable fans, or people who had been around the sport for years, had estimated that, sure, Tyson would lose eventually, but it wouldn't be until YEARS down the road and if he did, that it would be against an actually a great fighter.

He takes on Buster Douglas who didn't have ANY attribute over Tyson given his track record. He had folded before, he didn't have the best chin, nor the best boxing or brawling skills, he wasn't a champion, etc. In he comes as fodder for Tyson as another title defense and he not only beats Tyson, he knocks him out.

It was the equivalent of the village idiot slaying the dragon and saving everyone. Nobody expected it. NO-BODY.

Floyd is a clear favorite to win the fight, but it's not like Cotto winning is COMPLETELY out of the question. He's an underdog, but he's a solid one.

That Douglas over Tyson KO will remain as one of the biggest upsets in ALL of SPORTS...period.
