And people wonder why I like David Haye...

Tend to agree....however I thought this was a late replacement when Valuev pulled out because Don wanted more cash?

 

Tom McNeeley and Pete Rademacher.

 

Haye twice pulled out of fights with both the Klitschko's for differing reason's and now is fighting John ****ing Ruiz but Haye's the man is he ? Be fair now please.

Vitali after about 4 yrs out came back and fought Sam Peter who at the time was considered one of the top guns at heavy and Vitali also just recently embarrassed Arreola who many people thought was a threat (not me though). As Ash said Vitali wanted Valuev until that fight fell through.

Jesus people are hard on the Klitschko's and unfairly imo.

 

Sosnowski is ****ing terrible...this is why Ive just never liked the heavyweights.

 

Never?....or just the last 10 years of HW's?

 

Since Ive been following boxing its pretty much been as weak as ****, so it doesnt really motivate me to look into past eras and appreciate them..Id rather spend my time looking at the lighter weights.

As a new fan though I loved Tyson and still do...also a big fan of Commander Evander and didnt mind Bowe.

 

I was a huge fan of Bowe but probably one of the most frustrating champs ever. Threw it away.

 

The early to mid 90's was a very good era.

 

Yeah mate....It was great watching Tyson fights in crowed bars....the atmosphere was always great....almost goosebump stuff

 

Yeah Francis, I wasn't even referring to that either.

I've got a book on 90s heavyweight upsets called 'Rocky Lives', a great read. Not all the huge names either, guys like King Ipitan get a nod. One of the funnier little anecdotes I read was Nate Tubbs, brother (I think) of Tony who before upsetting Corrie Sanders in two rounds, once put on sixty pounds in five days after a fight!

Some really good stories and brought back a lot of memories.
