    None of these. Probably Yuh-Demarco. Runner up would be Holyfield-Qawi 1.

    I loved that fight as well. Bramble is one of those guys that just doesn't get talked about much but man could he fight.

    The loss to El Chapo really made a difference in his career and in the way we see him these days.

    Mancini v. Chacon was one of the worst fights either had in that time period.

    It was totally one sided
