    there couldnt be as big an upset.

    tyson was a machine who could not and had not ever been beaten.

    According to the bookies if Green beats Kessler that'll be a huge upset

    Well, obviouslyhe could be beaten...

    Tyson was perceived as unstoppable, that's why the upset was so big. He was very good, no doubt, but he was the kind of fighter to look absolutely amazing against B -level fighters. How good he would have been in his prime against real world beaters, we will never know. I don't thin too many fighters since Tyson had such a mystique/hype, therefore, a current upset wouldn'tbe as dramatic.

    if you had 100k to put on douglas you would have been a wealthy man!

    kessler green odds just arnt that good.

    Maybe the Same odds would come about if maybe Lakers played Your Local recreation team.

    if done king were to fixed that fight and put 10 mill on the line at 38-1 he would be buying Basket Ball teams and jets.

    I would have fixed this fight if I were the promoter and put 50 mill That Casino would be closed for Business Point Blank Period. Or taken over and theres no site fee for future fights and the gate is all mine.
    Too bad the highest bet for ole Buster was $1500 and thats what 57k? vegas wins again and laughs all the way to Money Room, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaaa

    If anyone had put 100K on Douglas, they would have taken the bets off. Would have been too fishy.
