    The first two Olivares-Chacon fights. Norris-Taylotoo, not because I was a huge fan of Taylor's, rather because it was alarming to me that Taylor's people were so willing to throw him to the wolves like that against a bigger, much stronger, much more powerful opponent. Even on paper, Taylor stood no chance.

    Sugar Ray Leonard vs Pete Ranzany
    James Toney vs Iran Barkley
    Roy Jones Jr vs Richard Hall
    Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr

    Beautiful performances but just can't help but feel bad for the opponents that are getting brutalized and humiliated.

    Breland - Honeyghan was hard to watch. Lloyd had nothing.

    That was pretty timid trash talking.

    Thats cuz hes not clever. Also they had an extensive history together. When briggs was chosen over Mike, Mike came to wish the olympic team luck and he asked Mike “how are you getting home?” To make fun of him

    Ok, didn't know about the back story. But I don't like to watch drawn out sadistic beat downs no matter what happened before. That goes for if they should have been done to Tyson as well, even though he did a lot of nasty trash talk himself. Don't know if Lewis perhaps prolonged it a bit, but I don't like to watch that fight either.

    Knocking a man unconscious is plenty pay back as it is.

    Shavers - Norton.
    It was brief but brutal.
    Kenny was lucky he didn't end comatose.

    On the flipside, for Don Curry fans, I'd imagine the Honeyghan beatdown was hard to watch as well.
