    Yeah the hype was unbelievable, I remember everyone was going to watch it and they kept talking about it months before the fight, and I was like 12 years old and seen so many Tyson videos that I thought he would knock Lewis out in 1 LOL.

    Tyson was involved a few fights like that where the build up was unbelievable.

    Nobody EVER mentions that fight. Good choice. I think everyone was rooting for Big George but felt kinda sorry for Moorer.

    Holyfield-Qawi 1 is a forgotten classic mainly because of the division. Both guys showed a ton of heart and guts.

    Benn VS Eubank 1 i was 8 years old, first fight i remember watching and getting hooked on boxing soon after.

    First time i stayed up in the early hours of the morning was Tyson VS Holyfield, i was gutted when Tyson got beat down.
