    The version of Douglas that beat Tyson would be a handful for most heavyweights,so i voted for him

    Very good matchup.

    Fights like this are seldom made because the loser would drop so much. You would have a major rebuilding project and neither guy was what you would term stellar in that department.


    My guess would be slightly towards Buster turning him all night. But those left hooks to the body could stop all that and Douglas cannot spend too many rounds standing in front of this guy. Winner would be classified as a great --or close to it. Loser would be termed just that ---a loser.

    Douglas from the Tyson fight serves him a beating.
