    Ali beating Frazier in Manila.
    Pac KO's Hatton (no controversy, victory was brutally quick and absolute.)

    Yeah thought process something like "if he gets to 30 kd's we'll pull him out, but he's fine for now"

    Rougher times back then.

    Tyson taking his beatings like a man against Douglas and Lewis. In both fights, he probably knew he didn't have what it was going to take to beat those men on that night, but he kept coming foward to be hit; almost like he was punishing himself for sins past, present and future.

    When he finally quit against McBride, he might have done so because someone inside said, 'enough is enough. it's time to repent OUTSIDE the ring'. With that, he's beceom a mild celebrity that is becoming more and more respected as a human being rather than the animal he portrayed and we encouraged.

    Those fights, those beat downs, were the finest moments of my favorite fighter.

    Tito's ko of Joppy. His first fight at Middleweight against a belt-holder with a very good jab. People were wondering if Tito's power would travel to 160 - after almost decapitating Joppy in the first round, Tito just crucified him en route to a 5th round stoppage.

    Trinidad was absolutely devastating that night.

    Duran beating Leonard up

    Duran sparking an opponents wife after she tries to get in the ring to hit him. Apparently he hit her with a better punch than he knocked her husband out with
