    Mike Tyson I guess you failed to mention. I was especially annoyed when I stayed up all night (until 5am and later) to watch Mike Tyson fight for the lineal championship and then watch the 90 second fight :(

    We will miss Canelo when he is gone, probably including many who are critical of him now.

    We will likely end up with a p4p #1 who is far more risk averse, and we will look back on his time nostalgically.

    I was there in AC for the fight. The most savage 91 seconds of boxing I’ve ever witnessed.

    Fortunately there was a good undercard (Buster Douglas, Trevor Berbick vs. Carl Williams, Donovan Ruddock) and in the days leading up to it, I saw George Foreman, Hector Camacho, Julian Jackson and Azumah Nelson all fight live.

    He’s what we are asking for, he doesn’t handle the judges scorecards he gets in and fights who we want in an exciting fashion, I will miss Saul.

    No, no, no...you're wrong. It was Mitch "Blood" Green. And not in the ring, but on the street; The street heavyweight title

    Prime Tyson was a exciting time, he was probably the biggest sports star in the world and everyone knew him and thought he could not be beat.
