I've never been able to watch Holmes vs Ali. I was just afraid of what I was going to see .. Then once I watched the highlights ... It was painful to see The GOAT taking a beating like that ....
Ray Mancini vs Duk Koo Kim, never watched it never will, Benn vs McClellan also. Saw Vitali vs Briggs live, and couldn't believe it wasn't stopped but came away with a new respect for Briggs for lasting 12 rounds despite getting pummelled every round.
Any fight involving any of these fighters Mayweather Whitaker Davis Jr. Camacho 1985- now heavyweight Jones jr Toney Loma Hearns post Roldan Leonard post Hearns 1 Duran post Leonard 1 PazIENZA Any Duva fighter Spinks post ltheavy Mosely Mayorga Vargas Trindad Hopkins De la hoya Lightheavy post M. Spinks Middleweight post 1989 Judah I like classic!
The IBF Welterweight Title bout between Felix Tito Trinidad vs Pernell Sweet Pea Whittaker, from Feb 20 1999. As much as I admired both greats, Sweet Pea was past his prime. I would have loved to see both against each other at the top of their game.
That's a lot of significant fighters to have a blanket self-imposed ban on. I could understand one or two - I personally don't intend to spend much time revisiting Whitaker or Mayweather's careers as I don't find either of them much fun to watch... but Trinidad? And Duran post-Leonard 1? Are you saying you've never watched Duran-Moore or Duran-Barkley? Or you've watched them already but you're not interested in watching them again?
Knowing how close Taylor was to winning when he got stopped and knowing the state he's in now, just makes the fight hard to watch for me.
I have no interest in watching a fight where a fighter died or suffered severe brain trauma. Nor any Fres Oquendo fight, for different reasons.
To this day I have never watched the Tyson v Bruno rematch. From what I read, Bruno was absolutely terrified and got completely destroyed. I didn't really want to remember Big Frank that way because previously he was always brave and competitive - even in losing efforts.
