    We did this a year ago. I'm still waiting for Rumsfeld to get to the rest of the decades. He just seemed to drop it after the 90s.

    No Foreman Vs Moorer!? One of the biggest events of the 90's period!

    Benn V McClellan 1995: - Benn "They got him over here to bash me up" he says whilst lisping and with an eye the size of a grapefruit.

    It was a big event/moment, but the fight itself wasn't great. It was okay, with a great ending, but as a whole, doesn't rank anywhere near the top 10 fights of the decade.

    One that never gets mentioned (and it should, it was awesome) was Kevin Kelley v Troy Dorsey.

    I put Foreman, Moorer on my list simply because, it was a history making event..
    Also because I never cared for Moorer, lol, it was nice watching him stare at his eyelids for awhile..

    Bowe vs Holyfield for me. There's something about a really good heavyweight scrap that makes it more exciting.

    McKenna vs. Ncita I and II were good scraps that nobody talks about.

    Kelley was involved in some really entertaining fights. The Dorsey fight was just nonstop action. Dorsey just didn't seem to ever stop punching, and did hurt Kelley late in the fight.

    Gainer 1, Gonzalez, and Hamed were all exciting fights too

    The 11th round of their first fight was one of the all time great rounds as far as I'm concerned
