    I mean fights where you've said "****ing hell!" and been genuinely afraid for the losing guy?

    Hagler on the rampage against Minter was one for me. Tyson-Berbick and Hearns-Cuevas also apply.

    Which performances almost terrified you?

    Norton-Bobick comes to mind. In retrospect, Duane was 'pan fed' that undefeated record and didn't belong in with ANY of the Top contenders. His problem was that he was so darn slow!
    At the time we thought if he'd faced a Liston or a Foreman that night it would have been terribly worse.

    Norton Bobick was not a scary performance. I laughed from the very moment Kens first overhand right landed up to and including Bobick lurching to his feet after being knocked down. Hysterical.

    Then that or the following evening Saturday Night Live playing the KO again and again......a laugh riot

    Gatti v. Gamache was sickening, the size disparity was ridiculous.
    ****ey v. Norton made an impression on me when I was younger, I thought ****ey was a beast, because at my young age, I couldn't understand it was not the Norton I had seen on TV a few years before.
    Billy Costello v. Bruce Curry was painful to watch
    Mugabi v. C.Parker really surprised me, but I don't think Parker so badly hurt, so maybe I am missing a bit the point.
    Davey Moore v. Benitez
    Hilton v. Benitez, poor Wilfred, he went down the hill so fast after Hamsho.

    So many of Tyson's fights.

    Some of Liston's.

    Some of Hearns.

    Two of Foreman's.

    Gomez at times.

    Roy Jones ko'd Art Serwano with a sudden burst of speed and power. Serwano's eyes bugged out and he shook violently as if seizing.

    I thought he was gonna die right there

    But, he recovered.
