    Like with Pastrano, Hector proved a lot to me in this fight....you could only respect him.

    I think Holyfield should be commended for keeping his poise after being bitten by Tyson

    Poise? He was bouncing up and down!

    But, yeah i get your point. Holyfield said he wanted to kick Tyson in the balls after that bite.

    That would have been funny.

    Didnt Holyfield admit to biting someone in the amateurs?

    I think he held together pretty damned well,....how would most fighters have reacted to having half their ear being bitten off?

    Kahn-Maidana. Kahn showed he had balls that night.

    Good call.

    Dunno....Golota bit someone in the neck as well didnt he?

    a much more fun question would be, how would other ATGs reacted to Chisoras slap?
