    Buster came to our gym afterwards, let me correct myself, HIS gym. He's a hero down here.

        No matter what version of Tyson you had in against Douglas, that version was light years better than Michael Moorer.

        Douglas' victory was far more impressive.
        Moorer was a great fighter, with a pretty good chin. getting KO'd by Foreman and Tua does not suggest that you don't have a good chin.

            Douglas-Tyson.Tyson was seen as unbeatable and Douglas whooped em.Moorer fought a perfect fight until his less than steller chin and Big George's power got him.

              Calling Moorer a "great fighter" absolutely cheapens the term.
              Moorer was a very good fighter, not a great one.

              Getting KO'd by Tua & Foreman does not equal a weak chin.
              But, nearly getting KO'd by Frankie Swindell, Alex Stewart, Bigfoot Martin....& yo-yo'd by Holyfield & Cooper....shows that when you get cracked....very bad things happen to you.

                i voted tyson-douglas, maybe it's the biggest upset in history ...

                but i am more impressed in foreman's victory for the reason that during his comback it was mostly a circus and nothing really big was expected, but he did manage on that night to take a portion of the heavy weight championship of the world at 45...
