    Does clinching swell and close eyes?

    If not, I feel there might have been something more sinister at play. Like jabs. And crosses.

    Perhaps it depends on how tight you squeeze?

    Then again, if anyone could’ve pulled it off, it would’ve been Bone Hugger Smith.

    James’ tight embraces didn’t appear to mark Mike up at all.

    So I’m gonna call it a myth busted.

    Well, if we gave Douglas tits then he’d be Aunty Buster, wouldn’t he?

    But, then again, Douglas did have a decent rack on him for his next fight vs Evander.

    We’re talking sports bra ready.

    It was Tyson who initiated most cliches…

    I don't care what silly Mortal Kombat 3 restrictive conditions you use. If you take Douglas fired up after his mom's passing vs Tyson, Douglas wins the championship belt. He was motivated, wanted it more, had a brilliant game plan and all the right tools. That heavy jab, lateral movement, vicious uppercut, 1-2, etc would've given Tyson nightmares no matter when they fought.

    I imagine the original poster is a Tyson fan. Look out for upcoming threads, "What if Buster had his boots tied together" "Would Mike have won if Douglas was blindfolded" etc...etc....
