The division had bottomed out, some really shitty boxers. C'mon, Buster Douglas was crap.
Disagree. Buster Douglas was a very solid boxer, just wasn't really a "fighter." He had a very good upbringing and never really needed boxing like a lot of boxers usually do. Hence, he always had motivation issues, except that one night.

Dude was in fricking tremendous shape when he first fought and beat Tyson and fought a great fight there. I'd have given him a decent shot on that day against anyone else in this pantheon of boxing we are discussing. It's sad, for his sake, that most people think that he just got "lucky" in catching Tyson at the right time. Of course, I admit he didn't really help himself legacy-wise by letting himself go to complete shite almost immediately after. I just think a lot of people don't credit that for as a legitimate "win" as I feel it really was.
