    yea, when i see a monster body shot i see the ribs shake a little in the replay, that punch had no weight behind it. I always thought that fight was strange.

    I still get worked up by the incident with Jones in the Olympics. Total corruption. There is no conceivable way the South Korean person won the fight. Absolutely NO WAY!

    that was later proved that some of those judges were corrupted.

    #1. Julie Lederman
    #2. Holyfield ending up with bronze instead of gold at the olympics
    #3. Emmanual Steward's hype job: Andy Lee. I'm not saying Lee has no talent, but THIS is the guy to beat Pavlik later this year:patsch

    Those are just a couple things that come to mind. Plus, I agree with several other posters.

    Victor Oganov.

    26-0 26KO's a few guys hyped him.

    He got his chance on Showtime and looked like a complete amatuer against Zuniga getting KO'd in the 9th.I didnt even see a glimpse of this perfect KO ratio he was that incapable.

    I tend to agree that Oganov was over-hyped, but Zuniga is under-rated, under-appreciated, and under-promoted. The guy is WAAAAY better than he generally gets credit for.

    Zuniga is good.

    Im just pointing out how terribly unskilled Oganov looked.

    tyrone brunson's 19 first round ko streak. I am very supportive of philly fighters to say the lease, but come on he should have stepped his game up then it would have been impressive. Instead I he fight bums none of which had a winning record i think
