After this weekends antics in Germany i started thinking about other pre/post fight conferences that ended in brawls. I remember Tyson v Lewis trading punches and Sulliman from the WBC ended up getting Knocked out.Tyson then proceeded to tell someone in the crowd "he would **** him until he loved him, ******"!!! I also remember Barrera punching Morales when they first squared off (might have been the other way round). I also remember the brawl with Riddick Bowe not too sure who with. Wasn't there 2 heavyweight boxers a few years back that started fighting in the HBO studio? Anyone remember anymore or have any good footage?
ESPN Studio, but i think this is what you mean. Lewis - rahman [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY5ABkVe3W0[/ame]
They should go back and retrospectively ban all these fighters for life and strip them of any titles and earnings they gained after the events for bringing the sport of boxing into disrepute.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5LxagKJ1PA[/ame] Bowe also had a brawl with Jorge Luis Gonzalez, I'm sure Buncey said he was there.
Toney and Jirov had a mellee. Montell Griffin jabbed Toney in the mouth. Barrera hit McKinney with a jab. Hide and Bentt had a scuffle. Roy Jones' trainer twatted Norman Stone. Something happened with Duran and Camacho. Boxers' fights outside the ring tend to be absolutely ****.
Barrera/Morales Barrera/Mckinney Bowe/Donald Lewis/Tyson Lewis/Rahman Benn/Eubank Christie/Taylor Bentt/Hide Homes/Berbwick (The daddy ) Hopkins/Tito Mayoga/Vargas etc etc etc etc Benn/Eubank was funny because the nation adored them. Haye and Chisora aren't very well liked so they're 'Bringing the sport into disripute. Hypocrisy at its finest :good
