3. Tyson Versus Trevor Berbick
Both Tyson and Trevor Berbick were wearing all black when Berbick defended the WBC Championship in 1986. Both were pro boxers. That was about all that Tyson and Berbick had in common that day. Just as well-known as is Berbick being knocked out by Tyson are the scenes of Berbick desperately trying to climb back to his feet during the referee’s count. Berbick instead fell into the ropes and then onto his back. He likely did not know that the fight had been ended by the referee by the time that he was able to stand. Even then, Berbick still needed help from the ref to remain upright.
