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

James Douglas (boxer) → Buster Douglas – Per WP:CommonName. If I say "James Douglas the boxer," it'll take you a minute to remember, and you'll probably only remember because he's the only "Douglas" in common boxing knowledge. If I say "Buster Douglas" and you know anything about boxing, it'll take you about one-tenth of a second to know who I'm talking about. Everybody knows who "Buster Douglas" is. Even James "Buster" Douglas works, although I don't seem to remember "James" ever being a part of his public title. Either way, this page title doesn't work. This guy is never namechecked without the word "Buster" in there somewhere. CityO fSilver 19:11, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Buster Douglas' ring record is incorrect since he suffered several defeats which is why he was such an underdog against Tyson |
