    Following on from the Benn-McClellan thread.....

    Which fights won't you re-watch and why?

    I've never rewatched Ali-Holmes or Norris-Leonard because 2 of the fighters that first got me interested in boxing got badly beaten. I've never even seen Leonard-Camacho at all.

    I've never watched Benn-McClellan, Eubank-Watson II, Mancini-Kim for obvious reasons.

    Never seen Ali vs Holmes/Berbick or Leonard vs Norris/Camacho and I don't intend to really either.

    Brodie vs Crolla - very sad to see.
    Most of those awful heavyweight fights between Williams/Audley/Skelton/Sprott.
    Haskins vs Broadhurst - :tired

    leonard vs duran III ,for me it was a very sad night duran just could not be bothered and it must oh hurt inside when he realised he could not hit leonard that night

    I've never wanted to track down a copy of Owen-Pintor.

    When fighters I've really liked have lost (especially/mainly when I was younger), I tend to watch it again, hoping it somehow turns out different :lol:, ludicrous I know - looking for some excuse, some kind of reason, I just can't accept it... the what I thought untouchable, my hero in a way, got beat.

    I've watched Benn-McClellan lots of times (though most the time not till the end), I'm not going to pretend I haven't.

    Far too many boring fights to mention, the most recent perhaps being Jones vs Hopkins 2.

    Collins-Resto
    Ingle-Botile
    Oliver-Devakov

    And Cotto-Margarito, I get halfway through and i just struggle to watch my favorite fighter take that punishment. Plus now having the suspicion of him using concrete wraps it winds me up a lil that he may of used them on Miguel. The other fights for obvious reasons. I'd feel creepy watching them
