    Good call--I've been meaning to check that one out too. I'm planning to work through the nominations in order, and make sure that each person who's been actively participating in the threads has the opportunity to see one of their fights covered.

    BTW, can you remind me--what are your thoughts on having two different threads going at the same time?

    Up to you! If you mean a HW one and a separate one I am in. Might draw 2 different crowds. I am more of a lower weight fan, but might be able to do both.

    @mrkoolkevin do we have a new one going up today? Give me a good one as I am off all week!!! Yay

    Edit: it would be a good week for me if you wanted to experiment with your secondary thread of HW fight of the week as well...either way I am ready to watch and talk about a new fight

    Put up a heavyweight thread. Do you think the "double header" thread for the regular FOTW series would be overkill? (I think the more fights the merrier, but I'm curious whether you disagree).

    Would you consider a fight that there was no film of?

    No. That would defeat the whole purpose of this series!

    Duran-Barkley was a perfect choice @mrkoolkevin! I loved rewatching this one!

    For future heavyweight fights of the week, Holmes-Norton would be perfect as would Holmes-Spinks 1 and/or 2 and Ali-Norton 3.

    For the regular fight of the week, I’d love to see Holyfield-Qawi and Arguello-Escalera 2 again.

    Well if we do this I must demand it be a double header as Arguello vs Escalera I is still my favorite fight of all time! Nothing like the Bloody Battle of Bayamón for my money

    Good one! I'd be interested in revisiting this one and maybe Williams-Martinez I.
