Pacquiao winning would be more shocking than Tyson-Douglas

Not even. More like Amir Khan taking GGG's best shots and then winning...

Stop trolling!

We are here to discuss the noble arts of boxing and wrestling!

There is not a separate thread for Wrestling like UFC- so we must discuss it in the general forum you berk! :boxx

 

WTF is wrong with you?

Cotto is undersize at 160....thats coming from a cotto fan atsch

 

:think I wonder if he goes to see R-Truth or Andre Ward? :think

 

everybody wouldnt be shocked, its just about Mayweather losing, not about Pac winning.

if Mayweather was to ever lose the person to beat him would be one of the most popular ppl in the world! Thats because MAYWEATHER IS THAT GOOD!! you trying to flip this in a different way. Mayweather is a fovrite against EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD NOT JUST PAC!! Thats the truth so anybody that beats him gets the prasise. enough of this shot ****

 

Nice random shot at Oakland; please enlighten me on the vast boxing knowledge coming out of TN... lol

 

nah. thats downright impossible....buster was a pretty talented and solid heavyweight........with no discipline and unmotivated...

 

yes he is...so what?? you trying to compare Douglas to Cotto?? Thats not even a boxing fan talking, sounds like YDKSAB!!

 

TOKYO - A helpless Mike Tyson, his left eye closed, was knocked out in the 10th round today by James (Buster) Douglas. In one of the great upsets in heavyweight history, Douglas, a journeyman so lightly regarded there were no Las Vegas odds on this fight, is now the undisputed heavyweight champion after knocking out Tyson at 1:23 of the 10th round.



Only The Mirage Casino took the bet:

VACCARO: "I figured if there's a fight there has to be a number on it. I opened the Buster Douglas/Tyson fight at 27-to-1 and people jumped on Tyson. The first bet I took was for $81,000 to win $3,000. I moved it to 32-to-1 and the next guy bet something like $93,000 to win $3,000. And since we were the only place offering odds, everybody had to come to the Mirage if they wanted to bet."

GOM: "So you're not only getting action, but great publicity."

VACCARO: "That's right. So, eventually it got up to 42-to-1 and by adjusting numbers to get two-way action, we were in a spot where if Tyson lost we could win $104,000 and if Tyson won we would gain $3,000. So we had no risk in the outcome and great publicity with every news outlet in the world coming to the Mirage. And after Tyson lost, we were the only place that could talk about it because we were the only ones who had odds on the fight."

In the world of Las Vegas sports wagering, there's no such thing as a "sure thing." Never was that old adage truer than on that February night when the 42-to-1 long shot shocked the world by knocking out Tyson in the tenth round to become the new heavyweight champion. One bettor had placed $1,500 on Douglas at 38-to-1 for a $57,000 payday.

 

it will shock the world when Mayweather loses. everybody feels Pac is his biggest threat SO NO IT WOULD NOTY SHOCK THE WORLD!! MAIDANA WINNING WOULD'VE SHOCKED THE WORLD, GET THE DIFFERENCE YET atschatschatsch

 

get your panties dry.....Cotto aint no 1 hit wonder....but him koing GGG would be douglas/tyson proportion

 

No it wont. bro Tyson was KO everybody, was undisputed, the king of the sport. GGG is no king of the sport, not even top 5 p4p and has yet to fight anybody elite (ppl ducking him so not his fault) Cotto has KO many fighters and just KO Martinez so NO its NOT EVEN CLOSE TO TYSON-DOUGLAS!!

 

pacquio beating floyd would be a slight surprise, many wouldn't be surprised at all. Many expect Pac to win...
