    I think that was just a special thing in Buster's case.

    He had the latent natural talent & the added "no fear" mentality and motivation to get the win that night, (and some would argue, Tyson's flagging focus and lax training deficiencies played into it)

    It was a perfect storm.

    Lightning in a bottle.

    Can't really be replicated.

    We've heard of plenty more examples before & since of boxers having lost loved ones shortly before a big fight...hardly any of them result in the bereaved winning impressively...

    Margarito would be a good test for Lara I meant. I would not want to see Tony's eyesight hurt, I meant I think Margarito would be a good test since he has gone up against the best in the welt division. If there is a chance Tony could hurt his eyesight then I would not want to see him fight again

    Floyd would never turn up like Tyson did that night in Tokyo.

    I dont think Floyd would be ****ing japanese bitches and be clubbing till 4 i the morning.

    Also Cotto holds no physical or stylistic advantages over Floyd

    Cotto is a bigger name and much more relevant now than Douglas was in 1990

    Tyson had already beat people whod beat DOuglas, Flody has never beat someone whos beat Miguel.

    I personally think this is a **** fight and Cotto has no chance, but I would love for Cotto to somehow pull it off.

    If Cotto did by some divine intervention pull it off, then it wouldn't be a Buster Douglas, because Cotto is actually a legit top fighter, just not at his prime.
