    Everyone likes a fight between 2 hard punchers with shaky chins, because the fight could end at any time.

    So, what were some such fights?

    Wlad vs Haye

    Sadly it went the full 12 round distance. And it was frickin' cold that night in Hamburg.

    Dorticos vs Kudryashov although Dorticos has a solid chin.

    Someone in another thread just mentioned Macarinelli vs RJJ. That's a clear example imo.

    Mike Jones was a TR prospect who on one of Pacquiaos undercards got a shot at the vacant IBF 147 lb title. He completely outclassed his opponent, Bailey, in a complete snoozer until out of nowhere! BANG! a single right nearly flattened Jones. Next round, one of the years most beautiful uppercuts ended the career of Mike Jones.

    I know.
    But usually when someone mentioned Mike Jones at the time, the standard reaction was "who?".
    Really, it was a thing back then, don't ask me how it started.

    edit: seems like @mirkofilipovic has an idea!

    :lol:Oh.
    Well i remember HBO saying something similar. They were highly critical of the fight, of the belt, and the guys "competing".
