    If the fans vote they will definitely turn it into a Ali/Tyson/ marathon I'm afraid. You guys are more hardcore boxing fans & ESPN seems only interested in the"casual fan"(who for the most part are only interested in HW's) who barely know some of the Great Fighters/Fights of All Time unfortunately.

    I think they should have a 'HOF spotlight' perhaps & ,at different weight classes ,at least show one or two of the various HOF'ers classic fights(sandwiched between the Ali/Frazier/Foreman stuff) for the uninitiated like myself. The casual fan(ESPN's market) unfortunately could care less about MOST of the none HW greats .:-(

    The fights on Versus network are much better match ups than ESPN Classic, But they don't show them that often. Leonard-Benitez, Hagler- Antuofermo I, Ect. great stuff!:bbb

    Did they run out of reruns of Cheap Seats?
