    :lol: Have we had a go? The only reason I recognize the handle is because it once had the bright red booted bar across it. I was just legitimately asking about policy and ****.

    They don't even tell you who has a problem with you? How are supposed to know who to coddle?

    You saw what happened to Morales when Pac got to wear Reyes instead of Winning gloves in the rematch.

    I know David Price weren't no spring chicken in age, but veteran Tony Thompson beating him was a major major upset in the UK

    Obviously now we all know big Priceys a doughnut but there was a lot expected of him when he was blowing everyone away

    Holyfield beating fast Fres was a little shocking.
    Golota also exposed Grant big time.

    Wasn't Holyfield/Oquendo a controversial one on the cards?


    Golota was still considered a viable heavyweight contender. Somewhere in the top 10... He still had a few good performances left in him(namely Byrd and Ruiz) a better example would have been Mollo. a hyped prospect that most expected to run through the shopworn Golota. Didn't exactly happen that way!

    Speaking about prospects, holy cow, Rocky Juarez was one of the highly touted prospects of the 2000's but finished his career with a journeyman record.... WOW

    Eddie machen vs quarry.
    Zaragoza vs McCullough
    I think Mickey Ward vs the kid that was beaten him bad but then he ended it with a one shot to the liver

    He won the Thunderbox Heavyweight Tournament, beating jeremy williams, israel garcia and tony thompson in the final.
    If he had focused, he could have had another career

    Don't see this loss on Thomson's record, are these fights not sanctioned by a governing body? (as prizefighter were).

    Could attract more high profile names to these tournaments if they did not stain a fighters record.
