    Ward took it to bika and won it fair and square. No debate what so ever about that decision.

    Still I think Wladimir klitschko vs brewster was pretty tragic however what amazes me is Wladimir Klitschkos resolve to keep fighting and become one of the greats that's TRULEY inspiring.

    In terms of the impact they had the sport, Griffith-Paret III and Mancini-Kim were the most significant. Things were never quite the same after each fight, and both contributed to the decline of boxing as a mainstream sport in the US.

    Benn-McClellan had the most impact on me personally. It was one of those fights that you were emotionally drawn into.

    On a certain level though I don't think you can compare boxing deaths/serious injuries and say one was "more tragic" than the other.

    Both of Golota's fights with Bowe are pretty tragic on multiple fronts. Seeing a great HW like Bowe being beaten from pillar to post, then seeing stupid Golota not being able to control his punches. The race riot was pretty tragic as well.
