    Has there ever been a more one sided fight than the whooping Buster put on Tyson the bully from Brownsville, to see the most feared man on the planet reduced to Amir Khan status was mind blowing, Don King's pathetic 'long count' dispute only brought more attention to the dwarf Tyson receiving the mother of all beatings.

    Yes. Many.

    Any one sided beating where both fighters weren't knocked down.

    OP needs to log off and hang himself. There's your one sided beating.

    Buster Douglas was knocked down before his KO win. So much for the "one-sided" theory.

    It wasn't much one sided, but Douglas was stopping Mike on his track with his jab like it was the easyest thing ever.

    Douglas exposed all of mike's weaknesses, that was there from the beginning and never went away.

    Douglas didn't make the mistakes guys like Biggs made when trying to run from Tyson and outbox him from the outside. Mike is easy to destroy if you just stand in front of him and started hitting him back instead of running from him. He quickly folded each and every time opponents did that.

    Funny because most of the people who got knocked out, were those who tried to trade with him.

    As is the case with most punchers.

    But, you know better.

    Is this your first attempt at writing a poem or something?
    I'm asking 'cause I see a comma where there should be a question mark.

    The people that applied that tactic had to go true hell. You needed iron will, chin and lots of skill to be effective with this strategy against Mike.

    Douglas deserves the plaudits for going out there and doing what he did. But whoever believes weather your a tyson fan or not that that was the same mike tyson that smashed through the division are only kidding themselves.

    It was an off-night for Tyson. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyone that was actually following the boxing scene at the time could witness Tyson gradually falling apart both physically and mentally first hand. It was crystal clear that he was heading towards disaster, it was just a matter of time. His issues leading up to the fight are so well-documented by now that it's virtually impossible to dispute them.

    Blame it on him for not being able to stop letting his personal life affect his career, but it is what it is.

    Douglas brought nothing to the table that Tyson had not met previously. His jab wasn't the best. Neither were his movement, size nor power. Tony Tucker sported a similar package and Tyson outboxed Tucker without much trouble.

    He looked like **** against Page and Berbick in sparring. It wasn't the same guy. Period.

    Douglas was so good on the night, excellent jab and very fast hands/combos, and although not a huge puncher he wore him down, round by round. Tyson was never in it except for that uppercut. Still one of my favourite fights.
