Which fight most deserved a immediate rematch?

True. Douglas was undoubtedly winning the fight even though the judges inexplicably had the scores even at the time of the stoppage but with the controversy of the long count at the end of the eighth round where Douglas was down for about 14 second because of a slow count by the ref, a rematch seemed inevitable but Don King went about it the wrong way which in the end allowed Buster to first take a fight against Evander Holyfield before any rematch against Tyson.

 

That was Don King's fault. He just went about it the wrong way by trying to overturn the result of the fight into a eighth round KO for Tyson. He was supposed to be the promoter for both fighters but by pushing so hard for the result to be overturned in Tyson's favour, Buster successfully argued in court that King wasn't acting in his best interests as his own promoter should be and so was able to break free from King's control and make his own deal for his next fight.

Most people had a feeling that he would never be as motivated against Holyfield as he was against Tyson though and thought he might lose and so it proved.

 

Yeah, credit to Lewis, can't put it any other way. I mean, getting a cut like that was lucky as hell ... but Lennox MADE his luck by electing to throw all his chips on the table and to slug it out with Vits. Vitali was beating him like a drum up till then. Most other fighters would have stunk out the joint by grabbing and holding for the rest of the night. But, as you said, Lewis did what he had to do.

 

Felix Trinidad vs Oscar De La Hoya.
The decision was very controversial . FT moved up to 154 lbs after
fight . It was the last superfight of the 20th century and at the time it
set the ppv record for a non hw fight. This rematch would have being
box office gold.
