    I thought Holyfield Foreman was a superb fight, yes Holy won clearly but it was competitive and round 7 was one for the ages, that devastating punch that sent Evander ten feet across the ring would have KO'd just about any other heavy of the time that you care to name.

    Jefferson—Harris should be a lock.

    How about Lewis vs Mavrovic? I got around to watching it on You Tube and could not believe what I was watching!
