    Leonard - Duran II
    "So, how's Duran's conditioning right now? He should be able to fight, right? I'll tell him later."

    Holyfield - Moore I and Holyfield - Bowe 3, I mean, they should have happened but not in tha timeframe when Evan looked like a zombie. Whoever cleared him to fight then deserves jail.

    DeLaHoya v Chavez I - Chavez had been cut in sparring, which had been concealed. A mega-fight with someone like ODLH while carrying an injury like this was not only suicidal, but an effrontery to the paying public. End result: The cut was sliced open in the first round and stopped in 5. I have no problem with the fight being made, but the injury should have prevented it from happening when it did.

    Tyson v McBride. I still get a lump in my throat when Tyson is interviewed after and, and I'm paraphrasing, he is asked when he knew he didn't have it anymore and he answered honestly he'd known months ago but he was just putting food on the table...

    Richie Sandoval against Gaby Canizales. Was forced to defend his title or be stripped but was already having troubles with the weight. Decides to defend his title, drains himself down to make the weight and ends up almost losing his life.

    Meldrick Taylor vs Terry Norris was probably the worst career decision making. Taylor never the same after.
