    How many big fights would have ended differently if the neutral corner rule did not exist?

    Every prime Tyson fight would've ended in about 10 seconds of the first round.

    These four words always make me chuckle. I'm surprised they don't start saying 'every prime Tyson round' too. :D

    This fight will forever be debated. Was Tunney (as Tunney claims) fully lucid and in total command of his senses when receiving the count?

    Photos seem to suggest otherwise, and he has the glassy look in his eyes whilst sitting on the deck, but you never know...

    What photos or video have you seen that have allowed you to really see that his eyes are glazed?

    What we can tell is he is sitting on the deck, waits for the ref to hit the count then he gets up. He is going by the refs count not real time.
