    Douglas wasn't a KO puncher at all nor was his uppercut anything special. If that uppercut was delivered by Lennox, Tyson's bottom teeth would've been rammed up into the roof of his mouth.

    Strong chin for sure. Although Buster never had 1 punch knockout power.

    Klitschko still has all his teeth. Of course, he is European, so he probably didn't start with too many to begin with.

    Douglas right uppercut was timed beautifully on the back-end of some nice jabbing and then BING!

    As Manny Steward says, all heavyweights can punch.

    Razor Ruddock did, and he hit Tyson with a monster of an uppercut in their second fight.

    All heavyweights can crack. Its a fact. Some just crack harder than others.

    Yeah, my friends rarely saw me in a red jumper back then.

    Maybe your Dad had saw that your mum had laid out the red jumper for you the night before, & that's how he knew.

    time flies......

    I didn't watch the fight because I was positive that it would be another tyson first round blowout. I remember just waiting for the Tyson-Holyfield Matchup which was supposed to follow.

    Friends told me the day after that tyson was knocked out. I didn't believe anyone (literally) until i saw it on the news for myself.

    I was not a happy man....
