    The 90's were a gold mine of great fight cards, a lot thanks to the devil himself, Don King... a great time to be a fight fan.

    Rather randomly, consider this card from 9/17/94, stacked with talent top to bottom.


    Ricardo Lopez W Surachai SaengmorakotTKO 1 12
    Vincent Pettway W Gianfranco Rosi KO 4 12
    Gabriel Ruelas W Jesse James Leija UD 12 12
    Meldrick Taylor L Julio Cesar Chavez TKO 8 12
    Frankie Randall W Juan Martin Coggi UD 12 12
    Felix Trinidad W Luis Ramon Campas TKO 4 12
    Giovanni Parisi W Freddie Pendleton PTS 10 10

    Say what you will about his business practices, King put some great fighters in the ring together in cards that make today's affairs look paltry.

    I liked the "Rematches"card
    Randall vs Chavez II
    Norris vs Brown II
    Leija vs Nelson

    Beat me too it. 'Revenge: The Rematches' was surely the card of the decade.
