    1. Tyson getting up in the 12th round after being knocked unconscious for 4 seconds waking up at 5/6 seconds then making the 10 count. Then fighting back harder for the rest of the round hurting his opponent badly in the process. (Never seen in boxing before, find me an example)

    2. Tyson beating Wladamir for 12 rounds straight the man who had reigned for 11 years

    3. 1988, Tyson Fury being born

    4. Tyson getting stopped by Douglas

    5. 50 year old BIG George Foreman knocking over Moorer

    10 autopicks -

    tyson smash spinks, smashing the last man at HW

    tyson smash holmes, smashing the other last man at HW

    buster smash tyson, for the odds thing more than anything

    foreman moorer, oldest, obviously

    holyfield lewis, 2ATGS!

    jones ruiz, repeating Fitz feat albeit much lesser.

    the moment both vitali and wlad, 2 brothers, were first simultaneously in possession of HW titles, unprecedented.

    holy tyson 1

    bowe holy

    and maybe lewis tyson

    fun facts

    Lennox Lewis lost in the amateurs to

    Valeriy Abadzhyan by KO
    Petar Stoymenov
    Vyacheslav Yakovlev
    Alexander Miroshnichenko

    I always wonder if some guys would still have been ATG's had the brilliant ex Soviet Union fighters had always been able to turn pro, no doubt about it many of them wouldn't, Lewis maybe still would have. But I mean - Lewis only fought one ex soviet union fighter in his whole pro career, and Vitali whooped him for most of the rounds quite easily on 2 weeks notice.

    Even now most of their best amateurs from them countries don't turn pro, yet the small % that do are the most dominant force in boxing right now. The iron curtain falling is one of the most important things to note in pro boxing history :)

    We already know that boxing history would be different if Soviet fighters were allowed to compete at pros.

    the judges all had Vitali winning 4 out of the 6 rounds and it was stopped on a CUT with the crowd booing. Hardly a legit victory was it lol.
    Vitali dominated most of the fight on 2 weeks notice. Imagine if Lewis had to face 10 ex soviet fighters in his career instead of just the one - who whooped him.

    u got a good imagination but tko6 sadly for u.

    how u must wish it was different so bad. call your gang in to support you, but its stil tko6, one of lewis defences of least calorific effort, less than 6 rounds.

    I find it funny that a middle aged loner of your age writes 'u' instead of 'you'.

    58-56 58-56 58-56, deal with it.

    thats fine since bruno lasted longer. bruno was pretty good though, no shame coming second to him.
    why u so ashamed that he did worse than bruno? u shuld be proud that vitali managed just less than the feat of a fellow titlist.

    arent u proud of titlist level ability?

    #1 without question was Buster Douglas stopping Mike Tyson in Tokyo.
    The Holyfield-Bowe Wars
    Rahman stopping Lennox
    Some of the epic Boxing After Dark bouts, like Derrick Jefferson v Maurice Harrison or Derrick Jefferson v Oleg Maskaev
    Corrie Sanders stopping Klitschko
    Mercer stopping Morrison
    Tua stopping Moorer

    @HerolGee you're a legit spastic loser no wonder you dropped out of medical school.

    All the boxers you troll have had the complete opposite of your life in terms of success, money, happiness

    You seem to have a big problem with WINNERS, all because you can't relate to them because your're an old lonely Indian 100% LOSER leading a really crap life trapped in your filthy bedsit.
