    I thought of posting this no doubt Margarito's people thought Mosley was finished. Then he proceeded to beat the **** out of Margarito and shatter his supposed Iron Chin. :lol::lol::lol:

    Still one of my favorite fights for various reasons. Seeing that cheater knocked out was great.

    that was for a vacant belt. The WBO picked that fight not Wlad.

    Duran vs. Barkkley. Barkley's people thought for sure Duran was beyond washed up and had nothing left. The general consensus was that Duran had no business a monster at that high of a weight. Duran went out and whooped his ass.

    The same could be said of Duran vs. Moore and Duran vs. Kirkland.

    Damn bro, forgot about that one. That shot Hearns landed on Duran sounded like someone blasted a shotgun in the arena. Looked like someone sniped Duran from the rafters when Hearns landed that one hitta quitta.

    Ronald Hearns picking Harry Joe Yorgey.
    Tommy Morrison picking Michael Bentt.
    Kelly Pavlik picking Bernard Hopkins, people are going to say that it wasn't a handpicking, but Pavlik's handlers believed Hopkins to be shot at this point and were saying as much during the build up.
