No. Tokyo Douglas is a magical demigod who channeled the spirits of Sugar Ray Robinson and Benny Leonard at the same time.

Tokyo Douglas is actually The Silver Surfers human incarnation.



Tyson never stood a chance.

i think only alternate dimension Douglas could beat that version of Douglas, but it would be a very close fight.

Are you kidding me?... alternate dimension Douglas has nothing on Tokyo Douglas.

He got beat by celestial Holyfield for fucks sake.

Had Tyson gone to the right corner and not caused the count to be messed up the version of him that night would probably have beaten Douglas.

If he had turned up to the fight with 100% focus on winning he would probably have come from behind to win by knockout.

In this scenario Buster Douglas becomes his Billy Conn.

He would beat Douglas with Rooney. Because Rooney Tyson is near Godlike or so I heard.

I'd confidently pick the Tyson of '86 (Ribalta) to '88 (Spinks) & '91 (Ruddock I & II) to knockout Tokyo Douglas.

Most importantly, the debilitating body punches would kill Buster's legs.

I gotta say, for being such a "Average Joe" with some ability and talent, Buster Douglas got his ass in gear and put on a great exhibition of heart, soul and tools in Tokyo against Mike Tyson...

Again, for the umpteenth time, Buster Douglas of 1990 Tokyo would either whip ass or hold his own with any other ATG champion dating back to 1887 if pitted in a time machine... Douglas at age 30 and 6' 4" tall and weighing 231 pounds was a bad-ass mutha'...

NOW! Buster of 1990 Las Vegas was a slob of a sorry son of a motherfucker at 246 jelly bean pounds of goo who laid down for Evan Fields in rd. 3. UGH!!!
