    In a recent interview Bowe said the fan man was part of

    a conspiracy by Holyfield

    This isn't the strangest thing, but it was funny.

    Rock Newman pulling Elijah Tillery over the top rope, during Tillery's bout with Riddick Bowe in wich Tillery had previously tried to leg kick Bowe.

    The Tyson Hannibal Lechter Bite's on Holyfield
    That Huge Bump on Rahman's head in the Holyfield Fight (was obscene)

    I hadn't thought of it right away but "fan man" does take the cake. How often do you see a parachutist land in the ring.

    I did see something bizarre in the New York Golden Gloves back in the early '70s. It was at the Felt Forum in Madison Square Garden.

    A latin featherweight knocked his opponent down and kept kicking him in the head. The referee and both corners tried to grab him. He wriggled free, jumped out of the ring, eluded fans, and ran out the front door in below zero weather with just his trunks on and disappeared.

    A week later it was reported in the paper, he was shot dead in a holdup.

    was arrested after his fight with Taylor

    It was during the first round of Zarate-Zamora fight where the fan
    came into the ring just in his underwear

    Yeah, Eder Gonzalez v. Juan Coggi I has to be the most flagrantly obvious fix ever. Man, oh man. That referee was simply not going to allow Coggi to lose.

    And yeah, that ref for that Brewster-Krasniqi fight should be banned for life. Any sport that would allow him to ref should be banned.

    I don't remember who it was and i've seen it several times where someone is losing and their mother (or girlfriend, but believe it was mother) jumped in the ring and started hitting the opponent with her shoe.:lol: :lol: :lol:

    The only good Tucker fight I've seen was Tucker-Lewis, and that had a lot more to do with Lewis than Tucker. Tucker-Swindell and Tucker-Douglas are two of the worst stoppage wins I've ever seen. Tucker-Tyson was even worse than Tyson-Bonecrusher.

    This incident, fanman, the Golatta riot with Duva's collapse. Strange, bad things almost always happened when Bowe fought.

    Could you imagine if he fought Tyson?
