    Tyson Bruno, was from a poor family, my mum or dad would get the recording from the pub they drank at for me to see. I loved Sundays

    I agree, its been a loonnnggg time... But this is what makes these MEGA FIGHTS special.... is that they dont come around often... I think if we had one every 3 months, they wouldn't be as appealing... Kinda like the world cup every four years ha..

    Definately Holy-Tyson 1 on sky channel at the local pub..., me & my friends snuck in & stood at the very back of the place with our backs to the wall hoping no-one would notice how young we were, i was only 15 at the time, thankfully nobody said anything & i was able to watch the fight without getting kicked out :D By the 2nd round i was cheering & yelling like everybody else in the place! :bbb

    Saw many great fights before it but the first Bowe-Golota affair had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

    Since Golota fought Po'uah on FNF he was on the radar and Bowe met his match in the young pole. What a fight, what an end. Neither man was the same after those two fights.

    For me, it is hard to top the feeling that I got from watching Johnson-Willard.....j/k. This is the most exciting heavyweight fight, for me, since Lewis-Tyson. I go back a lot farther than that, but that is the most recent fight that compares to the excitement of this one. I may even be more excited for this one as the guy that I want to win, should win. I was rooting for Tyson against Lewis, but didn't expect him to win. I picked Lewis by KO in 10, but he did it in 8. I pick Wladimir by KO, but haven't picked a round yet.

    I think it must of been Tyson v Burbeck or Burbick how ever you spell it, though the fights that stand out the most are Tyson v Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis v Razor Ruddock.

    Especially the Lewis Ruddock fight cuz this was the big test for Lewis to find out whether he was world champ material or not, it turns out he was.

    Not the first exciting heavyweight fight of my life. But the first one in living bloody memory unfortunately. If this fight proves a fizzer the heavyweight division is really in some ****.

    Marciano vs Moore rooted for Moore in I'd seen more of him on Black and White TV. Mom and Dad rooted for the Rock.
    Patterson vs Moore rooted for the much faster Patterson. Patterson was 'Haye' fast.
    Patterson trio with Johanson
    Patterson Liston fights....lost my allowance money twice.
    Disliked Clay since he bedelviled Moore...could have done it in two...was an ass hole in round three, did take him in four.
    Liston Clay....dam lost again....and the next fight too.
    Won on Frazer vs Ali.
    Lost on Forman vs Ali
    Won with Holms vs Ali.
