    You really think Patterson-Johansson II is more entertaining than III?

    What about Dempsey/Firpo? Talk about a pier 6 brawl! I did'nt see that one mentioned. As for the best HW fight that I saw live I would have to say Holmes/Norton. What a 15th(15th not 12th)round!! And it was on TV to boot! Ah the good old days!
