    Some fights I just cannot watch...to name two...

    Tyson vs Mcbride...
    Never watched it. To painfull. Some fights seem too painfull to watch. Ali vs Berbick is another. Just can't bear to watch it.
    What are yours?

    Rocky Graziano vs. Marty Servo.
    It had bad consequences for Servo.

    A sad end, even by the standards of past prime greats taking a beating.

    Any featherweight fight from the 70's.

    Everyone seemed to be able to bang, plus those gloves looked more like woolen mittens.

    I've never seen Duran /Joppy, Ali /Berbick, Frazier/Cummings, Camacho/Leonard, Hearns/Grant, etc...Just haven't gone there, and not really inclined to do so...

    Besides the horrible beating Ali received, I wonder how much his health suffered because of this fight.... This fight should never happen.....
