    Foreman Ali!!

    Took Big George years to get over it, but when he finally came back - he built the finest fat reducing grilling machine since the barbeque

    Not as bitter as Starling's rivalry with Mark Breland. He said some vicious things before the rematch. He always seemed to jealous of him, kind of glad Starling didn't get the decision.

    I need to watch Camacho v Chapo (rip) again. I haven't watched it in about 15 years

    How about Jeff Fenech v Azumah Nelson II?
    Fenech was never ever the same raging bull, although I would put that down to a broken heart from the first fight more than the actual second loss

    Pavlik to Hopkins must be one especially after the abuse Kelly gave Calzaghe before the fight

    TYSON was going downhill before and did come back with some sensational performances

    A fairish call, there is a strong argument, he did deserve the nod; as much as I hate to admit it.

    Camacho really fustrated me in that period in his career, he should of taken over from Leonard, as the flashy potentially worldwide superstar of the sport, and yet he started to act like a dog.

    Yet when past his peak, he did show a lot of guts, taking lickings against Chavez and Tito, without quitting. Why could he not do that earlier in his career?:mad:

    Yeah, boxing was desperate for another star and Camacho had it there at his feet.

    I think the difference in between his showings immediately after Rosario and the beatings he took later on is that in his prime he had the option to win safely and chose to take it, later on he didn't have that choice. It was take the beating or quit.

    One of my favourites was Anthony "sugar ray clay jones jr" Smalls being pummelled by Bradley pryce. What a **** sure idiot he was

    We haven’t seen DeGale fight since. Hopefully he’s learnt from the loss and actually worked on his many flaws as a fighter. Considering how utterly average I think he is, I don’t see why everyone keeps talking about his “talent.” I’ve not seen a hint of it in the pro ranks.
