    I find it hard to watch Toney vs Peter I, because I firmly believe that James won that fight, it still sticks in my throat that he didn't get the W, because what an achievement that would have been.

    Conversely, Manny Pac is my favourite fighter but Pac-Morales 1 is one of my all-time favourite fights, it's scintillating and I think Pac can be proud of his bravery in that one.

    I can't really watch Pernell Whitaker vs Felix Trinidad, makes me want to curl up under my duvet and sob.

    RJJ vs Tarver II
    Pac vs Morales III
    Calzaghe vs Hopkins, this fight makes Floyd/Baldomir look like MAB/Morales

    Mayweather vs Hatton is still upsetting to watch.

    It's annoying because you can obviously see Gatti's true skill level, for all to see.

    Like he's being undressed and humiliated in public.

    That's boxing, though.

    I still am a bit annoyed with his Manfredy and DLH losses too. I know he was totally outclassed and got clobbered, fair. But it's still kinda annoying.

    Calzaghe - Hopkins

    I've said to myself for ages I'd re-watch it to score it again but I just can't bring myself to do it.

    It took me nearly 20 years to re-watch the Arguello/Pryor fights.

    Same deal with the Lopez/Sanchez fights.

    I am a big Gatti fan and was in the house in AC that night.
    All I can say is that if they didnt stop the fight, Gatti would have rather die than quit. Theres no shame in that.

    True.

    It's still upsetting, though.

    Vargas-Trinidad because I have to wonder what if there were NO LOW BLOWS...Vargas would have had his legs in the later rounds where he actually lost the fight. (I own this one, and I've only watched it twice, one to recore it, and once to admire vargas's skill)

    ODLH-Sturm Pisses me off because Oscar could have easily beat Sturm, but he was a lazy fatass during the time and he almost screwed himself over. (Only watched it once more, ONLY because I wanted to rescore it)

    Corrales-Clottey because Chico should have NEVER moved up to 147 :twisted: (Refuse to watch it again)

    ODLH-Mosley II because Oscar was robbed, and especially because Mosley was using PEDs (Only watched it once more, ONLY to rescore it)

    Clottey-emmanuel pacquiao, the weakest fight of the decade. It starred what a handful of people considered the #1 P4P at the time, the "best" being in a fight like that gives a sad reflection on the state of boxing.
