    Same here. And the only good thing about Muhammad's fight with Berbick,is that it was n't quite as painful as the one with Holmes.

    Mcgrain, I question the evidence you use to back up your opinion. Louis-Marciano was "hardly" a thrashing. In fact, it was a very good fight the first 5 rounds. Those 5 rounds you witness some world class punching, boxing, and jabbing from the fighters. 3 of the 5 rounds could have easily been scored to Louis. I would suggest watching the first 5 if you do not want to see the end result.

    One fight I haven`t watched in years and probably won`t ever again is the second Saad/Qawi fight, to see my hero Saad get mugged and beaten from pillar to post by a fired up Dwight is too painful a sight for me to sit thru ever again.

    Owen/Pintor by a mile. I watched it once, and not to the actual end, knowing what followed. Owen was such a loved, respectable and unique character for a fighter that it makes the thought of what befell him impossible to think about.

    Ingle/Botile is another one. I met Ingle as a kid in Scarborough just after he'd lost to Hamed, and he seemed nice. Made what happened a hard pill to swallow.

    I wouldn't want to watch Benn v Malinga or the 2 Collins fights again. Hatton v Pacquiao makes me wince as well.

    The only reason I watched Dokes-Weaver I was to confirm that Hercules was indeed setting up a suckered Carl Williams for his hook by cleverly feigning distress against the ropes. (After getting up against Dokes, and getting genuinely stunned by Coetzee and Smith, Mike holds his left up by his face, but has it in a cocked and loaded position before pulling the trigger on "The Lie.") With that one viewing of Dokes-Weaver I having served the purpose, I don't want to see the egregious way in which Joey Curtis very prematurely robbed Hercules of his WBA title again. Smith-Weaver I was a good call by the referee, while Dokes-Weaver I was reactionary BS.
