    Great video Rummy...!!! Very informative...!!!

    Only things missing were the Tillery vs Bowe fight (1991), Holmes drop kicks Berbick (1991), Phil Jackson vs Keith McKnight (1997) [my first ever pro fight as a cutman] and McKnight vs Iran Barkley, Barkley's last fight 1999...!!!

    :lol:

    Thanks!

    You're the 2nd person to mention the omission of the Holmes drop kick to me.

    The two fights I regretted excluding when I was just about finished with this, were Holyfield vs Mercer and Byrd vs Ibeabuchi. Byrd was the only future champion I neglected to include, and I had simply forgotten about Holyfield-Mercer. Those were fights I only considered after the fact.

    My original list had about 8 fights or so I was initially planning to include, but ultimately decided against.

    I'm not sure I ever saw the two McKnight fights you referenced. Will take a look for them soon.

    McKnight vs Jackson was on Heavyweight Explosions and the Barkley fight was not televised...!!!

    That was the only things I saw missing was Ike Ibeabuchi - Tua & Ike - Byrd I was ridiculed on the old forum when I forecast Ike beats Tua & again beats Byrd .
    Ike could have gone all the way. Great job Rummy

    Great video. I like the format.

    Do you plan on doing a 2000s version? Not quite as good a decade for HWs as the 90s IMO but still interesting, as it's all in more recent memory.
