    Very tough to say just by the nature of the style. But anyone who was outdone by good jab and good movement would struggle against a peak douglas.

    agreed with leon (poor leon is ALWAYS an answer in the "which champs could so and so beat" threads)

    that douglas would have ****ed up burns, vitali (if you consider him a champ), ingo (unless he lands that right...), patterson, and moorer

    true, and fair point. i just think a steady jab, great counters and that fluidity would nicely counter pattersons lunges and speed. great fight which is totally winnable for patterson but i'd favour douglas

    I agree on Moorer. That was a scalp that Buster could have taken with no problems

    However, Patterson is a very different tale. I don't think Buster has the advantage here :think

    All of them. Tokyo Douglas' power (mojo) comes from a unicorn horn that grows out of his rectum. It "fell out" shortly after this fight, and before his next one, for some reason. A very strange metaphysical anomaly. We'll never see his like again.

    He could beat allot of them, a better question is who beats this Douglas? This Douglas was technically and physically 1 of the best ever, it just shows how important the right mental approach is.

    At least Montreal Duran was actually a guy who existed in other places, that aren't mythical.
