TYSON V. FRANÇOIS BOTHA, JAN. 16, 1999: The image that remains, that will become one of those SportsCenter staples, is Mike Tyson's crackling right hand out of nowhere and François Botha's drunken reel around the ring. Highlight footage doesn't get much better than that. The punch couldn't have traveled more than six inches, whereas poor Botha covered quite a bit more territory, tipping, toppling and wobbling before finally sliding down the ropes in a horrible heap.
