Buster Douglas was a great fighter outside of the Tyson fight

    Yep, you can't just say that had he come in lighter and more determined he would have beat Holyfield. Holyfield was an amazing fighter in his own right, maybe he times and lands that right regardless.

    That's true. I think that if Douglas had lost the Tyson fight, we probably would've seen him go on to be a pretty good nineties era fighter, probably a titlist a couple times over the span of the decade with some clashes against a couple of the main players here and there. Would've loved to see him against a first or second title reign Michael Moorer.
