    Nah, just a proxy battle.

    I mean WAR, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is it good for?

    What is War good for? That band was good for some of the funkiest music ever created. An eclectic outfit that truly had its own groove. Roll funk, R&B, Latino, jazz and a touch of reggae all together and this is what you get:

    Is that some cowbell I’m detecting?

    If so, I’m all in. I had a fever, but it now seems to be cured.

    Indeed it us.

    I think we can safely say it’s the best cowbell intro this side of “Honky Tonk Women.”

    Personally I like the earlier version of the Temptations.
    Nice shout out though.

    I am surprised nobody has mentioned Tarver-Jones II. It was a pretty shocking revenge.

    Holyfield won that rematch clearly 7-5. And Lewis won the first fight clearly 9-3

    I actually have the 4 tops ranked higher than The Temptaions from the 60's. I agree, its all great stuff either way.

    Lennox/Rahman II (Rahman landing on the crown is so poetic)

    My personal favorite is Cotto/Margarito II though. It also enrages me that Cotto got his revenge but enough people don't talk about the 2nd fight, only the first one.

    I saw WAR in concert twice during their heyday. They put on great shows.
