Would you agree that Douglas-Tyson is the greatest boxing upset of all time?

    I could care less about bull**** p4p. Have u asked urself why pac wants nothing to do with Mosley? It's called career suicide. Its not about being right or wrong either. It's about being real.

    Yeah, it probably was seen as just how unbeatable Mike was made out to be at the time. Lewis - Rahman as well.

    Huh, a lot of upsets seem to involve Tyson - Douglas, Holyfield, Williams, McBride.

    I don't think it's as simple as Douglas just being the first of several to conquer him, though - I think he met a better Tyson than anybody afterward, and he looked him square in the eye and he ****ED HIM UP.

    Objectively, it was a phenomenal performance. When you add the emotional backstory (and who the hell couldn't feel amazing for the man on that night, with what was swimming through his head at the time??) it just enhances it. But by itself on its own strength it's RIDICULOUS what he did.

    If it wasn't for your eye-popping avatar, I'd call you an idiot. But who says Pacquiao wants nothing to do with Mosley? Mosley was desperate for a fight with Pac, even agreeing to fight at 140. 140! If that is desperation, I don't know what is. Now, if Pac is a "ladyboy" in any way, it's because he sees Mosley like most chicks see desperate men...pathetic.

    If you want to talk about being real.
    #1 Pacquiao never said he wants no part of Mosley
    #2 he was fighting at 135 and jumped to 147, Of course Mosley may kick his ass because Mosley is a 154 big fighter, dont expect Pacquiao to fight Pavlik after cause are allusinating.
    #3 I was talking about Fraud on my comments, of course fraud has a chance to beat manny because of the size advantage but I think Pac will beat him.
    The same way you feel about Manny with mosley its the same with fraud with paul williams, of course the risk is higher.
    Mosley didnt have any fights during 1 year, why? He could had fought Bute, any of the super six
    Dont forget the are weight limits if you dont want to talk about P4P

    Listen, this is absolutely true. Nobody - and I mean nobody - thought Douglas would beat Tyson. The only question at the time was how long it would take Tyson to get rid of him.

    He must be drinking now, dont forget its saturday.
    Where he got this thing that Pacquiao is scared of mosley?
    Pacquiao always says: Its opt to my promoters, I am just a fighter

    Isn't there enough PAC/FlOYD threads cluttering up the forum without bringing them into other threads!!!

    Yeah, his corner was in dissaray that night but it was no better when Holyfield beat him either. Jay Bright was saying thisngs to Mike but he just wasn't listening. For Buster, you couldn't help but feel great for him due to the circumstances surrounding the win.
