It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like.

• So Douglas fought Monaco and won by DQ, but was unable to continue after being knocked down by a punch that came after the round ended? I don't exactly understand how that rule works in boxing; perhaps someone could clarify. It is, indeed, bizarre.

• "...who scored the biggest upsets in the history of boxing, perhaps the biggest upset in sports history..." ... I think that needs a bit of an edit, or at the very least some sources. Not very objective. Wadey4 11:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Surely no bookie had Tyson as a 42 to 1 favourite? Possibly 42 to 1 on?

It didn't belong. I removed it, if you see something that you think is wrong, with the article, change it, leave an edit summary explaining what you did. One of the basic principles in wikipedia is be bold and fix what is wrong. Jons63 (talk) 02:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
