    Wikipedia said he was in "several wild brawls" in the 90s. Holyfield, Moorer, and Mercer. That's a few, but not several. Those were all great fights, but was he in any others that were on the same level of action?

    Tillman? I've heard that was good, not got round to watching it yet though.

    I love that one too, but the three with Holy, Moorer, and Mercer are all so different, I don't pick a fave, I just know it's the best of the 90s

    Never seen it. Supposedly, Norris was ahead on pts and then hurt his hnee. He couldn't continue so Bert got a Tko. There should be an • next to that result.

    Joe Hipp in 91 is decent.

    After the Moorer brawl in 92 Bert became a trial horse so no really competitove brawls except maybe try Cooper v. Mike Weaver where a shot Weaver edged a shot Cooper in 12 rounds.

    I remember watching that fight live one afternoon on free TV and it was periodically interrupted with updates of the first golf war. Incredible fight. Gil Clancy was one of the commentators. Both men’s faces were swollen at the end
