    Azumah Nelson said he was given 2 weeks' notice for the Sal Sanchez fight. He also said Sanchez's promoter Don King was angry when he saw they were sending such a strong good fighter to fight Sanchez, who King was trying to make into a star.

    Holyfield vs Bert Cooper was a great fight. 6 days notice after Damiani pulled out of the fight

    Takam Joshua. Takam gave Joshua's stiff ass all kinds of problems, and he never even won a world title. In fact he got beat by Parker and ko'd by Headvetkin albeit Headvetkin probably cheated using PEDs.

    Lewis was initially to fight a rematch with Mike Tyson but it didn't happen. Then Lewis was scheduled to fight Canadian Kirk Johnson for the IBO title. Johnson was injured and pulled out only 2 weeks before the fight, and was replaced by Vitali.

    Not a long enough lead time for you? How many years did you want it to take to get made?

    Nichols vs Wilder

    They literally found Nichols at a Waffle House in Biloxi on the day of the fight

    Some of Mark de Mori's fights prior to fighting David Haye were organised only a day or two beforehand and some of those guys had barely had a fight.

    Pacquiao/Ledwaba was pretty good.
    Wasn't this fight made with only a few weeks in advance?

    Duhauphas vs Potvekin

    Stiverne dropped out because Sasha wash gamajuiced like the incredible hulk. Lo and behold, Duhauphas is sitting in the arena gobbling down an extra large, sausage, bacon and pepperoni pizza, some sack of porkrinds and gallon of Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. He was offered a few rubles, put down his snacks, tossed on his shorts and gave potvekin all he could handle for 6 rounds.

    GGG v Brook was great while it lasted,not so much short notice as end of the deadline for Eubank.
