    The Sosa/Williams fight was a justified stoppage.

    They were literally killing one another, those two would have leaned on one another all night in that one corner and beat on one another, that was just the type of fighters and men that they were.

    It was literally like watching a cockfight, or a dogfight even. Scary stuff.

    yeah this was a justified double stoppage...rare but somebody would have died in that fight..the judges and the ref had seen enough.... i honestly didnt think prince charles had that type of brawling in him but it cost him big time in the second fight...the 4 punch combo that merqui hit him with to score the stoppage had me like :admin:admin:admin and the ref had the nerve to give prince charles a standing 8 when he was clearly done:bart

    He was always viewed in my crowd as the #2 of the five (adding Andries).

    Hill was thought boring but a class above everyone.

    Williams was considered classy but perhaps a bit too keen to brawl, where his average chin becomes an issue.

    Moorer was next, exciting but unproven, there seemed to be weight issues and he struggled with cuties.

    Andries was next, sure Harding got lucky once, but Dennis went to Australia to regain his title, and I was there the night he lost the third fight, being at home and the defending champ, Dennis deserved at least a draw.

    Harding was last of the five, but I always figured his desire may of upset Moorer...

    I always thought Harding was the weakest of them by far. He always looked like just an overblown clubfighter to me, and I thought he got a gift in his third fight with Andries.

    That's probably close to how I and most people I knew looked at it.
