One of the greatest upsets in sports history

For those Boxing fans, 20 years since Buster Douglas stunned Iron Mike Tyson. Nice story by ESPN's Jeremy Schapp:

Reaching for the gum shield was the highlight.

Thank god, Buster Douglas blemished the myth that is the most overrated fighter of all time.

Good video, never seen that before.

Neither had I. It's fantastic.

But it shows you how far the top Heavyweights today are behind their predecessors.

It also shows you how much better referees were.

Watch that towards the end as Douglas was punching, he was refereeing properly, in close to the fighters. Referees now piss me off, jumping around 2 feet behind them then missing butts, elbows & low blows.

After watching Klitchko's last fight, I can safely say that Heavyweight boxing is dead. It's the worst championship fight I ever saw and I've been watching boxing all my life. Talk about average and they don't even qualify.

I dont see why it was such an upset tho; even Tyson has admitted that most of the time in Tokyo was spent fucking Japanese girls 'like grapes'.

I remember that because I was jealous.
