    I agree with Powerpuncher, there was a lot of people saying Hatton was well out his depth with Tyszu. I think 10 years down the stretch Hatton will be remembered alot more kindly, he does get a lot of **** on ESB.

    Gerry Cooney vs Larry Holmes, knew Gerry was in over his head, but it showed he had some heart.

    :deal My favorite Lopez fight...I sure respected the way he shut up everyone with that one big right hand. One of the prettiest, lethal ko's I've ever seen..every bit as good as the best Louis ko p4p.

    A shame if black and white is all the footage available. It'd be cool to see all the red.

    Duran for just getting in the ring with Hagler and Barkley, never mind beating the latter.

    Hector Camacho after his fight with Chavez.

    He took a pretty good beating but went the distance. I thought he would retire on his stool at some point.

    I've always been a huge fan of Willie Pastrano....his fight with Harold Johnson was an epic contest between two exquisitely skilled fighters...but I really came to respect him for taking that horrible beating from Jose Torres in his last fight...suffering his first and only career knockdown...from a left to the body....(ne was never decked by a head shot)...it seemed that he paid for all the punches he eluded in his career in this one terrible fight...needless to say Willie was completely past it by that time.

    A couple of years earlier, Hatton would have indeed been way out of his depth with Tyszu.
