Marciano v Tokyo James Douglas?

listen to the comments about how Buster was starring at his gloves and Mike Tyson's comments and Evanders comments about he would make James Douglas quit

Yea but he was 6'3.5 inches tall and had an 83 inch reach ...to bad it did not help him

Douglas has a very good win

But Dude he did not fight the best mike tyson or anything close to it that night period

Tyson just showed up now i think Douglas would beat Marciano most likely

but Dude Tyson was a great fighter who got caught in tokyo that night by a lesser fighter

 

Even if they what?

 

What the **** is this?

Is this what this board has devolved into?

 

Reading comprehension seems to be very low on this board.

 

I posted the video of Buster getting KO'd in his prime in a fight right after Tokyo Douglas was felled by a right hand and stayed down for the count, the right hand was a good Holyfield punch, no way any version of Buster handles the Suzie -Q ...the comments by Evander was that he was going to make Buster quit ....his 6'3.5 size and 83 inch reach did not help him ....he got lucky with a beatable Tyson that night...Walcott and Charles would have looked spectacular against that version of Tyson in Tokyo ....but the reality of Buster is Holyfield KO 3

 

Marciano threw about 40-45 punches a round versus an old Walcott who had none of the physical advantages that Douglas possessed and who, aged and shopworn as he was, faded down the stretch.

Douglas was throwing around 70 punches a round for the first three rounds against Tyson, stifling the smaller fighter's attacks and putting on a masters class in the double jab. After that, he slowed to just over 50 punches a round, landing thudding power jabs and right hands.

Tyson had vastly superior foot speed to Marciano, was quicker of hand and quicker above the waist, yet STILL could not elude the display that Douglas put forth that night.

What is a 30 pound lighter, slower of foot, slower of punch and slower and stiffer of upper body movement fighter going to provide that Tyson didn't?

 

That is merely your opinion.

As far as I'm concerned Douglas fought the exact same version of Tyson that had despatched Bruno, Spinks, and Williams in a combined 7 rounds during the previous 18 months. The beliefs of his more desperate fans are of no importance to me.

 

Can't agree with that Bummy.

If anything Holy and his people got wind of the fact that Douglas literally hadn't bothered training, and was likely to take the money and quit. No one in their right mind can seriously claim that fat version of Buster represented the one that battered Tyson. Even then he was leaning on his elbow helping the ref with the count. All the guy wanted to do was take the millions and go fishing.
