    And it should be. Look at Jeff Lacy and the career setback he's had from a messed up rotator cuff. You can recover from cuts, swelling, and broken bones. You tear that rotator cuff, and you're screwed because your speed and power won't be the same in that hand for years, if ever.

    yeah saw that.

    the ref didnt know what to do...he was outclassed by a HUGE margin but no one told him that. it's interesting because if it had gone the distance it would of been a big bite out of froch's rep

    morrison-lewis

    it was a fight that was going to be in the early 90's...but tommy ****ed that up with a defence against bentt.

    so we saw a tired, faded and way past his prime morrison fight one of the best heavywieght champions for years.

    even though he was chinny. he was one hella tough dude.im sure he would of stayed until the last round. but wen a jab knocks you down then it should be called a rap.




    judah v cotto was a good one.

    judah had a great start, stunning cotto and evenbacking him up. after 2 low blows the wind went out of his sails and a renowned stamina puff fighter getting bowled out in the 5 showed that he was never going to win the fight...but somone shoudl of told him that. he kept on going takign a knee but got up on his happy feet as soon as it was over. using his handspeead power of what he had left. in the end he got pulverised.


    danny williams against vitali was a great show of 'no mans out until he is pinned to the canvas' . danny had nothign but a fair do chin followed with a good boxing basic and a win over tyson, that gives him a shot against klitchko. vitali was just too big and too long for danny to get a rhythm. a great performance by both men.

    McDonnell's effort against Nelson was a brave effort. A brilliant showing.

    Frazier-Ali III
    Of course

    Tunney-Greb I (Tunney)
    They say Tunney bled so much that you couldn't even see the canvas anymore. Greb was hitting him with everything he had but he lasted.

    Ketchel-Papke II
    Papke gained an advantage early and basically battered Ketchel for 12 rounds.

    Ketchel-Thomas II
    32 round war, Thomas managed to drop Ketchel once. Thomas' career was never the same after his fights with Ketchel.

    McVey against Jeanette in their classic Paris bout.... Although Jeannette getting off the floor 27 times to win is even more impressive.

    Nelson vs. Sanchez, as well.
