    Tyson's loss to Douglas is broadly considered the greatest upset in boxing history for good reason. Trying to change history now, over 25 years later, is both futile and a total waste of time.

    To the dumbass casual fans especially the Tyson nuthuggers, anyone with a bit of knowledge about boxing knows this is a much bigger ask for Kel Brook. Going up two weights to challenge the Middleweight King who happens to be a murderous puncher, one of the biggest if not the biggest upset of all times if Kel pulls this off.....

    Your right it is a bigger upset for the people that know boxing but not too the general public. Back then Tyson was seen as indestructible his fan boys were like GGG's guys on crack. So when a journeyman in Douglas beat him it shook the world.

    not even close and the main reason is nobody outside of boxing fans has ever heard of ggg, tyson was and is world famous.

    tysons hype was real, he was knocking grown men out and world champ by 21, his fights were more exciting than ggg fights, he looked like a midget compared to the guys he was knocking out.

    Not much pal.
    Put on a tenner and if they come in, get around £350, but am going to put a seperate bet on for Brook before the fight
