    Buster Douglas when he KO'd Tyson. Without that win, nobody would know Buster's name, nobody.

    This is the one that sticks in my mind. Corrales and those guys had other legendary nights, but Douglas did the impossible. and that was pretty much it, but it was enough to make him immortal.

    Ward-Gatti, LaMotta-Robinson, if not for either of them meeting in the ring, there would likely be no movie made about either.
