    Your a lucky man.

    Its nothing short of sheer carelessness that this fight was not recorded, I mean, Saddler KO`d Pep the 1st time, it was surely big big news at the time... & these idiots couldnt find the time to record the fkn rematch :-(

    Muhammad Ali v Cleveland Williams might be thee most flawless performance Ive seen from any ATG fighter, simply stunning.

    All the modern day hatred for Calzaghe be damned...it's all hindsight revisionism..Calzaghe-Lacy was extremely impressive and a virtuoso performance if there ever was one.

    I agree, how was Lacy not going to totally destroy Calzaghe, in no doubt, a Virtuoso Performance??? Lacy was the new American superstar, who would reign for as long as he wanted...

    At the time, being so confident, I changed my entire share portfolio to include just Lehman Brothers; I know a winner when I see one!:yep

    That is as beautiful it can get when someone gets the **** beaten out of him. To think that Toney was really fast once. And Barkley was an absolute giant for a MW. Everytime I see him I'm astonished anew at how big he was.

    I'd pay hundreds, without hesitation, to see Pep's triumph over Saddler. I've heard it is literally a career defining win for a great fighter and a favorite of mine, and I hate that its nowhere to be found.

    Ward-Kessler . A dominant ass kicking performance from Andre Ward. Kessler was easily dominated from start to finish.Virtuoso
