IF Adamek beats Vitali, would that surpass Buster Douglas beating Tyson?

hells no

 

Adamek's got an iron chin, suddenly people decided he's chinny because.... no clue why atsch

 

I know Tomas is undersized and not the most highly regarded heavyweight in history,but I believe Vitali is close to 40,and many consider him to be on the slide.When Buster beat Tyson,Mike was still undefeated and closer to his prime than Klitchko is now.Tyson-Douglas is frequently mentioned as the greatest upset in the history of the division.If Adamek wins,I don't believe that that will change.

 

I can't wait for this fight, it's getting closer and closer and my anticipation grows. My roommates and I (polaks, the lot of us) will undoubtedly be finding some place to watch this with out ilk and cheer on Adamek when the time comes

 

No way, not even ****ing close

Tyson was undefeated, a seemingly unmovable force that had steamed through everyone, he looked to be invincible and Buster was a B or C level fighter that had been beaten by Tucker and Ferguson, two guys that Tyson beat with relative ease.

Vitaly is near 40, has been beaten by Byrd and Lewis and has no where near the air of invincibility that Tyson had. Also, Adamek is a respected fighter and is rated much higher than Douglas was going in to the Tyson fight. It would be a huge upset, but most would say "it was going to happen eventually, Vitaly is getting on in years".

 

The bet line at the time, which was 1-40 says it all. This fight shouldn't have happened back then due to an obvious missmatch. Nothing will ever top this upset.

I would become a rich man as I was contemplating betting against Mike at the time. But that was inconceivable, incomprehensible and straight out blasphemous that Tyson would lose to Douglas back then.

 

Vitali isn't the #1 guy in the division, his brother is. He's not the P4P king and Adamek won't be a 42-1 underdog. So no it wouldn't top the Douglas-Tyson upset.

 

well maybe tyson vs mcbum was a shocker as well

 

Good post. :good

For that 1 night, Buster was an awsome heavyweight... He said "Fck Mike Tyson... I'm winning this for my mama."

No Fear!

 

Buster Douglas defeating Mike is the biggest upset ever recored in boxing history.

End thread

 

it couldnt beat tyson-douglas by a large margine and only be top 5, because tysons upset is ranked either 1 or 2 all time with the other being clay-liston

if the vegas odds maker put ademek as a 43-1 under dog, then yes...because douglas was a 42-1 under dog

 

said it before and i will say it again...i like ademek, hes good for boxing, hes active, never has excuses...but hes not a heavyweight...and will get the beating of his life in sept....hes a little man, in vitalis big man world
