So with life getting in the way, I almost entirely forgot about this, remembered as I was looking through some old forums. For those who are new to the forum, it was an boxing "tournament" to figure out who MT thinks is the best boxer. The original thread(s) explaining it in more detail can be found here:

Martial Talk Boxing Tournament and Martial Talk Boxing Tournament With Poll/Bracket

The current bracket is located here: Martialtalk Boxing Tournament - Challonge

And here is the new poll. It's between Mike Tyson and Buster Douglas.

Have your say: Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas

No contest, MT was one of the most, if not the most devastating boxers in history. Unfortunately for him he took Douglas for granted....kind of the quin essential Rocky story. The same thing happens to almost every great boxer, Foreman Vs Ali, Lewis Vs McCall, and many others.

This loss ruined Tyson. He was never the same afterward.

It was the beginning of the end for Tyson, yes. The façade of invincibility cracked. The water started to slowly seep in. And then everyone heard that unmistakable sound of a FLUSH.
