    Tarver knocking out Roy Jones jr. I can't watch that fight.:-(

    Don't get me wrong I like Tarver, but RJJ is my all time favorite boxer and to see him get KO'd like that was horrible. And the fact that Tarver was so cocky before the fight "You got any excuses tonight Roy? and then knocks him out made it even worse.

    RJJ by KO round 6 would've been a great result.

    Fenech - Nelson I

    Also, Ali - Foreman. If those ropes really were deliberately loosened then it is like Foreman should have won.

    The first Lewis-Rahman fight. Lewis was an idiot, overweight, not acclimatised and totally complacent. He was his own worst enemy at times and had he just trained and gone in there focused and prepared for the environment (so not gasping for oxygen by round 2) he would have won in the manner he did in the rematch.

    The haters would then only have one defeat to mention against McCall when he was back up by the count of 6 and should have been allowed to continue. He was not the fighter he developed into then either, so one defeat avenged and not actually down for the count either would look so much better.

    There would be a lot less disrespect to a brilliant career and he would be listed higher.
    All down to stupid complaceny and not enough respect for the conditions and the opponent.

    I'm actually starting to regret it a bit. After all, Ali earned that win in the most closely contested fight of all time. But the names Ali called Frazier going into that one kind of grates on me.

    Plus I was ticked that Reggie picked Ali-Frazier I above.

    I sympathise and I like your reasons for making the pick (SHUT THE **** UP ZAKMAN) but I feel like Lewis sorted that mistake out for himself ;)

    Pac-Morales III. I'd change it to a UD for Morales.

    Bottom line. Take away Joe's loss and you also deprive him of his biggest win.

    Not to mention the single biggest propoganda blow to the war-party Nazis.
