If Manuel Charr knocks out Vitali, will it be a bigger upset than Tyson vs. Douglas?

    Don't think any upset will ever top Tyson/Douglas...at least in terms of shock. Still the most shocking upset I've seen in any sport, at least in the last 25 years. Heck, some were making a big deal when Bruno wobbled Tyson in the first round of their '89 fight. Just the thought of Tyson even being hurt was a big deal back then.

    If have heard that Manuel Charr is the real deal and a threat to Vitali Klitschko

    So no it wouldn't be. Douglas was somone with no expectations in the fight. Douglas stood up to Tyson and exposed him as an extremely gifted but mentally weak fighter, with a bully mentality. Tyson couldnt hadle adversity too well.

    What are the odds

    I see a lot a people really excited about Charr. I think Charr has the capability to pull off an upset if Vitali shows up lookin old. You heard it here first :deal

    Vitali is old. So if he loses, not that big of a surprise.

    Huge upset, but not close to the biggest upset in boxing history (and one of the biggest in sports history).

    The impact of the KO was enormous, and even my granny knew about it. Tyson was deemed close to unbeatable at that point, and 'Buster' had already been stopped by second raters and former Tyson victims.

    No comparison.
