6. Fans Sent 'Get Well Soon' Cards To Evander Holyfield Before He Fought Mike Tyson

Holyfield was that much of an outsider before he took on the then 'Baddest Man On The Planet' that fans saw fit to send him well wishes and get well soon cards before the pair even stepped between the ropes. This must have made the most unlikely victory in the sports' history all the more sweeter for Holyfield, who overcame odds of 25/1 to shock the world.
