My ten favourite pictures in boxing

There is a photo of Arnold Taylor leaping for joy as Romeo Anaya lies senseless on the canvas. For me it encapsulates the ecstacy and agony of the fight game.

I'll have to scan the photo though...I can't find it on the net anywhere.

 

Says a thousand words.

The "He stepped in my foot" incident. It sure appears that way (As this is the after result).

Who are the fighters?

 

At least it inspired a great film.

 

Makes a great desktop background, Pac seems to almost be smiling.
