    I'm sorta sidestepping the original question here, but I saw Douglas fight twice before the Tyson fight. The first was on a cable tv card, and I don't remember who he fought. But I took notice of him because announcers said he was the son of Billy 'Dynamite' Douglas. I remember that night Buster looked TERRIBLE. I came away having no respect for the guy whatsoever. A couple years later he started moving up the rankings ("What? Buster Douglas? Really?"). So then I watched the Tucker fight and I though he looked great until he was stopped. I don't remember that fight being particularly exciting, but I though Buster's improvement was remarkable.
