Would a Floyd loss tonight be a bigger upset than Douglas/Tyson?

[Danny Gunz]

I don't think the main sports public looks at Mayweather with nearly the same aura of invincibility as Tyson had at that point in his career

[The Big Dunn]

i canelo wins it will be on the 2nd page of almost every sports page in the world.

when tyson lost to buster it was on the front page of every newspaper in the world.

see the difference?

[Larry the boss]

Funny thing is,,,

People say canelo too young and green to be in the ring with floyd

yet at 23 tyson was getting ko'd by douglas and had already destroyed everyone and unified the belts and been the man for a few years....

another example of how canelo isnt the next big thing,,, good fighter, but the next big thing would have destroyed hatton rhodes, gomez, shane, trout,,,,
like how tyson destroyed everyone at heavy
floyd destroyed genara and manfredy
oscar destroyed jeff mayweather in his 5th fight, and also beat up genaro, leija, ruelas

The next big thing always looks dominant on the way up,,, canelo hasnt showed that dominance like other great fighters did early in their careers

amazing aint it

I was 8 when Tyson lost and the one thing i remember was him on the front page on the paper on his knees looking for his mouth piece

What the actual ****? What type of question is this?

There isn't one single thing that is similar.

Canelo is an undefeated, unified champion, in his prime facing a smaller, past his peak fighter 13 years his senior.

Douglas was none of those. He had been knocked out and lost numerous times, had never won a title and was facing the lineal, undisputed champion at his peak, if not his best.

Man, it is embarrassing to compare the loss an Icon like Tyson to the loss of a local good boxer like Mayweather !

You should compare Mayweather to loss of other local superstar like DLH , Chavez Sr. , SRL , ...... And anyone not named Ali or Tyson

Even Klitschko(s) , who are the most popular Today, are many levels below Tyson

[Brockton Lip]

Obviously not. Look at the odds for this fight compared to those of the Douglas fight.

[MrRolltide91]

Hell naw....

[A-Wolf]

Absolutely not.

[Daddy T]

haha sheeeesh NOT EVEN CLOSE have you even seen the odds?
