    Depends how he beats floyd. If he dominates to a UD win then that would be special. A freak KO not so much.

    40 to 1. Miadana has a better shot than Douglas was given against Mike. It will be a huge upset if Marcos were to pull this off but it wouldn't eclipse what Buster accomplished in Feb of 1990*.

    Wouldn't people have to be upset, for it to be an "upset"? :lol:

    *****s don't count, well they do, but just as rats.

    modernFaggot ,no surprise this comes out of your gay for floyd fanboy mouth. tyson is already in the history books and will go down as a legend and is a world wide phenom. no one has ever gave one damn about floyd outside the u.s. or knows who he is.

    Who said he would? The thread is a question of whether it would eclipse the biggest upset of all time.

    Maidana is going to be reduced to NOTHING.

    But, he makes well earned money and stays relatively important in the game later on this year.

    Absolutely not.

    Floyd does not have the aura of a Mike Tyson or the feeling many felt was true, that Tyson was simply invincible. There's a reason why Vegas had Tyson a 42-1 favorite.

    If a prime Tyson was around in today, with social media he'd be drawing 3 million ppv buys, maybe even more.

    Anyone that says yes is problably too young to remember the mike tyson prime era. think about it. at age 23 he was the undisputed hw champion with no one remotely in his league and the p4p king by far and away. you couldnt even imagine tyson being beat. i dont think he was ever even stunned in a fight before douglass. i remember tyson losing like it was yesterday. i was 13 years old and my uncle had a fight party and their was a stunned silence after tyson didnt get up. then there was some denial and anger and i sh#t you not i remember seeing grown men crying! as popular as people think floyd is tyson was 10 times bigger. we are talking 42/1 odds not 9/1. if floyd loses itll be an upset and itll be the top sports story for a couple days unless another gay athlete comes forward.

    Sadly not and not even close. Maidana is a solid opponent who's a champion at welterweight coming off impressive wins. Douglas was nothing but a completely overlooked journeyman who was supposed to get sparked against Tyson in a fight, according to the betting odds, that was nothing but an exhibition at best in Japan.

    It's not even close. The Tyson loss was far bigger. This MIGHT rank up with Lewis's loss to Rahman or something along those lines.
