    Good move man. Every single person that had anything to do with that event (except Ali and Holmes) should have been publicly strung up.

    This is easy for me. The best win was Ali upsetting Foreman. I was sure Ali was done and I was never so glad to be wrong. The worst loss was Roberto Duran losing to Kirkland Laing. From a sports fan point of view, I was pretty devastated.

    Best wins - Jeff Fenech TKO10 Victor Callejas to win his third world title & stay undefeated doing so, Kostya Tszyu KTFO2 Zab Judah to unify the Light Welter World Championship, Vic Darchinyan TKFO9 Christian Mijares to unify the Super Flyweight World Championship.

    Worst loss - Jeff Harding TKO by 7 Dennis Andries to lose the WBC Light Heavyweight championship. Didn't see it coming.

    Worst losses: GGG vs Canelo 2, Kovalev vs Ward 2 and Loma vs Haney; not necessarily because of the result (because I could have accepted the results if they were fair), but because of the pervading sense of injustice afterwards. Martinez-Cotto was sad, seeing a physically shot fighter go out like that.
    Best wins: Some that come to mind are Joshua-Klitschko, Fury-Wilder 2 (though I've soured on Fury since), Wood-Conlan, Gvozdyk-Stevenson (though I took no joy in Stevenson's condition post fight).

    Do you realty think Floyd won the fight with Pac & IV gate plus the NSAC's pathetic "Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong" LOL Then issued him a retroactive TUE for the illegal saline he was caught receiving in his own home night before the fight 21 days later ????? I certainly dont

    ROFL You are joking I hope. Even Floyd Sr can be heard yelling at Floyd. "Why are you fighting scared son you know youre losing this fight don't you . When you add in IV gate the whole shebang should have been declared a No Contest.

    Worst losses for me were Lewis - Rahman 1. I was a big Lewis fan and just couldn't believe it. And Jones Jr v Tarver 2 and Glen Johnson. Roy was my absolute hero as a young boxing fan. I learnt a hard lesson then that all fighters are mortal, however invincible you think they might be.
    Best wins are Lewis-Rahman 2, for the perfect revenge. And I always had a soft spot for Hopkins-Trinidad where Bernard finally showed his greatness in an epic way.

    CJ, I honestly didn't know any of this. But on the flip side of that coin, do you honestly think Smac-man moved up all those weight divisions naturally?



    I certainly don't.
