    I'll think about it next time. People tend to shy from voting when it becomes public. But I'll consider it. :good

    Holyfield-Foreman
    Moorer-Stewart
    Holyfield-Cooper
    Morrison-Hipp
    Foreman-Stewart
    Moorer-Cooper

    I wish I was of fan of boxing back then. I have watched a few clips of the fab 4 fights, but most importantly I didn't live through it at the time when it would be more exciting.

    Man i was real young (born in 79) then so I remember more about the get togethers and people around yelling and cheering than the actual fights at the time. I caught em on the slide. Probably Chavez, Whittaker, Tyson, Taylor, Barkley, Nunn was when I was really understanding what was going on.
