    Hmm. What are you trying to play it on? It's still processing, and is currently only available in 360p for me - which is making me cringe. Although 480p might make for best viewing on this.

    I didn't watch the whole thing because I'm sleepy, but I agree with most of the top 10, its pretty spot on, and I thought Tua won too. The Foreman match happened right after I moved for the first time, I remember it for being the first great memory I experienced in that house, I was 14. I root for old guys too as you probably know by now. Both the Bowe fights were great, and Douglas-Tyson for all the people not old enough to remember the reaction surpassed Rousey being KO'd recently, it was huge.

    19 years ago today! The fight that, for better or worse, transformed me into a die hard boxing fan.

    :lol:

    Please do let me know if it winds up working for you? I think the issue may have been it took awhile to process completely.

    I think Byrd has a loss to Calzaghe somewhere along the line as an amature but that aside he had a solid Am career ( fantastic grounding from his father i believe and those skills showed v the bigger guys he fought ) for a 6'1" heavyweight he done remarkably well Golota 2 as you quiet rightly said should really have happened .

    I remember reading about Byrd losing to Calzaghe somewhere. And as for the rematch that never was between Byrd and Golota, I never understood it. A few months later, Golota again headlined an MSG card, this time against Ruiz, while Byrd faced McCline.

    Wouldn't a Byrd-Golota rematch and a Ruiz-McCline bout have made for a far more appealing card? I always thought so.
