    This "myth" is only a "myth" to people who like to deny Foreman his rightful place in boxing lore.

    Did both of Frazier's feet come off the canvas?

    G-Man Vs Benn
    Benn Vs Eubank I and II
    Eubank Vs Watson on that tragic night
    Eubank Vs Thompson - epitome of Chris' warrior spirit, will and chin.

    Just watched this fight, great finish by Philips when it looked like Tszyu was going to edge him out, thanks for mentioning.

    Boxing helped me get through some tough times, and Moorer-Foreman always makes me tear up a little.

    I will throw Leon Spinks win over Ali in 1978 into the mix, undisputed champion in his 8th pro bout, a young whippersnapper achieving the unimaginable

    Have to say it brings back good memories and emotions, a wet behind the ears teenage Kernow still in recruit training, watching the bout with rest of recruits.

    That image of Spinks being lifted aloft on getting the decision sure was a Rocky moment.

    Mayweather schooling Pacquiao and the ensuing crying from casuals and hardcore boxing fans alike. Brought happy tears to my eyes

    Holyfield - Bowe 1 - when Holyfield had been pulverized for most of round 10 and then started to rally….amazing stuff. I love that fight in general. Watched it live on TV and I remember thinking “five rounds have gone by already?!”. Both fighters left the ring with boosted reputations.

    Hearns vs Leonard 2- I didn't think Tommy had anything left to beat Leonard and during the introductions Tommy just gave Leonard that look.
    I was shocked at the determination that Hearns showed that night - he wanted it so bad.
    Ward vs Gatti 1 - the punishment they both were willing to take in order to win - I still can't believe Gatti got up from that body shot.
    Bobby Chacon vs Limon 4/ Boza Edwards 2 - Chacon just would not be denied no matter what. Blood streaming down his face his face busted beyond belief and there he is looking to bomb with that right-hand.
