    The biggest disappointments are the fights that never happened:

    Lewis-Bowe
    Mayweather-Cotto (apparently)
    Foreman-Tyson (imagine the event that would've been)

    So was Lacy against Calzaghe, and Trinindad against Hopkins.

    There wasn't much Gatti could've done differently to win. He didn't underperform or choke or anything like that.

    He tried to, but it wasn't working. He was doing better when he boxed, but was still losing. His punches were too wide and he was getting hit down the middle with Baldomir's shorter shots, particularly the straight right. Baldomir had Gatti's timing down.

    The king has to be Buster Douglas... Coming off a huge win over Mike he gets rich, gets lazy doesnt train and Evander just takes him out like hes nothing

    watching Oliver McCall getting forced into the ring to fight Lewis again.. He showed up in Las Vegas with 2 days to go, with Jimmy Adams and Greg Page.. He looked like a man scred to death and strung out.. His body was immaculate but it hid his minds troubles.. Oliver was very Ill and everyone in DKP knew it, but no one had the balls to help Oliver.. That nice feller could have lost his life in there that night. Lennox had a mad point to prove and was punching with venom that night and Mike Marley , Don King , Carl King , all pushed him thru the ropes because too much cash was invested.. I was harshly dissapointed with the lack of humility shown to a guy who had no place wearing gloves on that occasion.. I know alot of people could have had blood on thier hands had someone got hurt...... They had the gaul to say he shouldn't be paid too.. What ****ing price for a life..

    Odd really , the man in Ollies corner that night ended up almost losing his life in the ring "Greg Page" In a fight with Dale Crowe , Greg didn't look particularly shook up, but suffered a bad brain bleed which has left him almost unable to do anything for himself.. It just goes to show..

    NV Commission knew the issue about Oliver, yet still had that silly Kangaroo court after the fight to see what Oliver had to say for himself.. They said he was ranting and going on and on.. The poor feller didn't wanna say " I need someone to come help me i have a problem.." some men just aren't made that way.. Boxingis horrible to its own sometimes.......

    Barrera getting to Hamed first and then Hamed retiring after one more fight.

    I wish Morales-Hamed would have happened.

    ODLH v. Trinadad back in the day. I have never seen a world champion take the entire 2nd half of a fight off like that before or since.

    Tyson vs Holyfield I.
    At a time, I barely knew who is Holyfield and expected Tyson to just ko him in 4 or something.
