3. Tyson Defeats Berbick
Trevor Berbick had one purpose when he stepped inside of the ring to take on Tyson in 1986: Hand over the WBC Heavyweight Championship to the better fighter. Berbick, some might forget, was a respected boxer at that stage of his career, but he simply was no match for the runaway freight train that was a young Tyson. Berbick probably deserved some award for managing to stand on his feet for as long as he did, but he could only defy time and gravity for so long before one final left hook put the matter to bed for good. Tyson became the youngest man ever to win a major boxing Heavyweight Championship on that night.
