    Hearns/Barkley. I thought Tommy's career was finished. The fact he came back and won a few more titles and beat Virgil Hill was all but ignored, but to me that was a great accomplishment after such a knockout.

    Saddest moment for me was Pac taunting a grotesquely swollen and retreating Cotto.


    Tyson-Williams and Tyson-McBride were also sad cuz Tyson would have KOed them both in 1 had he been even remotely close to his prime. I thought Tyson deserved one last high profile fight against Vitali even though he would have most likely gotten destroyed.

    SADDEST: Seeing Tszyu lose the way he did against Hatton. Course, he made up for it by being so 'Tszyu-like' after the fight. Whada guy!

    HAPPIEST: Seeing Floyd Mayweather get knocked the **** out in the second round in against Manny Pacquiao. (did I ever tell anyone here about that strange island I had crashed landed on years and years ago?)

    Yeah, I put that as the saddest too... He was so gracious in defeat. He asked them very nicely after the fight "If you could please be quite for just a moment..?" after they were such a bunch of fat, bald, pale ****s through the whole fight! :twisted: Yeah, they cheered heartily when he delivered that nice speech afterwards, didn't they... **** off you ****ing fat bunch of ******* ****s!!!

    Hatton is in Australia right now and he mentioned fighting over here. So help me god if he tries to pull that **** me and my mates are off to the fights and we'll give him the welcome he deserves. :twisted::fire:twisted::fire:twisted:

    [/quote]Cotto/Marg was my worst night as a boxing fan. I was just so certain that Cotto would win. And was talking all sorts of mad **** during the first 6 rounds. Then when he started wobbling and backpedaling and taking shot after shot with my VERY mexican family talking mad **** to me...and then watching him take a knee while everyone called him "pinche quitting ass puto"...I couldnt do anything. I had to take it. Terrible night for me to say the least. Didnt get over it until a week later.[/quote]


    cotto/marg..I feel you on that one im mexican going for a PR in a house full of mexicans..not a good mix...i was so sure cotto was gonna win..I still havent got over that one :patsch

    Saddest- Hopkins vs Tito, Cotto-Margo, Tyson's last fight.

    Happiest- MAB vs Hamed, Tito-Vargas, Mosley-Margo, but by far Tito-Joppy

    Retribution came later when it was found out that Margarito had been loading his gloves illegally, no?

    I'm only counting the fights that I actually saw as they happened.

    Happiest:

    #3 Mosley vs Margarito. I have to admit I was screaming for Margarito to lose after what he had done to Cotto. When, during the broadcast, I found out that Margarito had been illegally wrapping his hands, my desire to see him destroyed increased exponentially. Mosley walked Margarito down and punished him the entire fight before brutally stopping the man touted as having an unbreakable chin. I felt vindicated. Thank you, Shane.

    #2 Foreman vs Moorer. Foreman makes history by being the oldest man to win the heavyweight championship by flattening Moorer with a massive right hand in the 10th round of a fight he was losing badly. I jumped out of my chair and cheered at the top of my lungs when Moorer hit the canvas. Foreman had captured the hearts of the entire US when he started to prove that his comeback wasn't just a publicity stunt. His fight against Holyfield was huge. When he won the championship more than 20 years after his first title, it was insane.

    #1 Bruno vs McCall. The entire UK had been wanting Bruno to capture the title for so long, and he finally did it, pounding the iron-chinned McCall with any number of huge right hands that could have stopped a lesser opponent. It was very emotional.

    Saddest:

    #3 Ray Leonard vs Terry Norris. One of my favorite fighters of all time gets dominated and dropped twice on his way to losing a huge UD to the much younger Norris. For me this was worse than the Camacho fight, because Leonard was hurt in the 5th and then finished. This fight just dragged on, and the beating Leonard took was shameful.

    #2 Cotto vs Margarito. I am with VARG on this one. The boxing display Cotto put on early was nothing short of superb, and I was extremely vocal in my support of him. As the fight started to turn and I saw the bloodied Cotto taking more and more punishment, I wanted to just get up and leave, but couldn't for the hopes that he might have been able to last the fight and pull out a close decision. I felt like "I" had lost alongside Miguel when he took those knees.

    #1 Tyson vs Douglas. I still have trouble watching this fight, not only for the brutal punches Douglas lands on Tyson to put him down, but the way Tyson fumbled for his mouthpiece and tried in vain to stand back up again. The gravity of this fight goes beyond just the fight itself, and signifies the beginning of the long and gruesome end for the once-unstoppable "Kid Dynamite". When much later asked about his career, Tyson replied, "My career? My career was over in 1990."
