    (build up and watching)

    I know we're all tough as nails, but which fight made you most nervous/scared even?

    I was neverous as hell for and watching Calzaghe Kessler

    Esp round 4 with those hellacious uppercuts

    But for me, nothing comes close to JMM Pac 4

    Pac waits til Juan is a 50 year old shot to **** fossil, then finds the cohones to take him on. Hes beating on him badly. Watching it was like watching someone you love getting tortured

    The most devastating KO in boxing history for me was a relief more than anything

    So Pac Jmm IV

    What about you angels?

    Cool topic

    I remember hoping Cotto didn't get hurt too bad when he fought Sergio Martinez.

    Speaking of Martinez, I was worried Chavez Jr was gonna catch him with something crazy at some point and KO him. He almost did

    You mean the triangle? Like Pac vs JMM, IV vs JMM and Pac vs IV? :blood

    But I never really been scared for a fight other as Tuur vs Yoma II, knowing that he probably wouldn't get the nod there if it went the distance.

    I was extremely nervous waiting and watching W. Klitschko vs. Haye.
    I hadn't been eating properly seven days before the match.

    Then : Holyfield vs. Tyson, Lewis vs. Tyson, Lewis vs. Holyfield twice.

    I was nervous too (without any reason) waiting/watching V. Klitschko vs. Adamek...Yes, I had overestimated Adamek very much...

    I was very nervous before Froch-Grove 1... I probably was one of the few because most people didn't think Groves was going to present much of a problem for Froch.

    David Tua/John Ruiz is most devastating KO in boxing history.

    Not Pac/Jmm IV

    The fight was I afraid to watch the most was Pavlik/B Hop .

    Hopkins is going to be completely slaughtered and executed for good .

    This was his retirement fight .

    Those were my thoughts .

    I was scared for Bernard's health thinking it was going to be another Edison Miranda brutal beatdown .

    How wrong I was .

    Hopkins is truly an ATG .

    Mayweather vs Pacquiao to be honest.

    We waited years for that fight and the bell rung and I was certain that both would go for broke and bring their "A" games but, it seems like someone told both guys they broke the bank befor they entered the ring and they were like "**** all you suckers".

    That fight destroyed boxing from what I observed :think

    So many people were disgusted by the result of that fight .

    The sport of Boxing lost so many fans that night and is the reason why its still struggling today .

    Its unfortunate .

    Same. So much anticipation, no other fight had that build up. After 6 years of trash talk it was the moment of truth. And both men laid an egg...

    And who exactly was Ruiz?

    Why dont we put YOU in with Beterbiev and then maybe then we can see the most devastating KO in boxing history

    Calzaghe/Kessler
    Froch/Taylor
    Haye/klitschko

    Hatton/mayweather and manny/mayweather I just found very frustrating to watch, also I find ward frustrating to watch aswell. He'll make the kovalev fight a big disappointment.

    I know we have soft spots for certain fighters but at the end of the day all we want to see is a good bust up

    I was nervous For that one as well, but as an Adamek fan. Scared that he could get badly hurt.

    In all seriousness, I would have to say watching Jermain Taylor in the twilight of his career was difficult. After he got viciously knocked out by Kelly Pavlik in their first fight, then Froch, then Abraham, I worried about his health and the wisdom of continuing to step in the ring. I felt about Taylor the way many people have felt about Roy Jones, Jr. continuing to box. Sitting through an entire Taylor fight during his last several bouts was painful.
