    I felt very disapointed by Trinidad performance in the Winky fight. The guy do not do anything.

    Top 3 would be:

    Tyson, for not beating Holyfield. Had he beaten Holyfield, he would have been on his way to be ranked among the top 5 HW ATG.

    Holyfield, for not beatin Lewis. Had he beaten Lewis, he would have easily been ranked well within top 5 HW ATG.

    Roy Jones, for not beating Tarver and retiring after that. I was ready to rank Jones as GOAT had he decisively beaten Tarver and retire. He would have left the sport with a superman unbeatable aura.

    Really hated seeing Jones against Calzaghe. Hated to see Calzaghe taunting him and Jones just being too old and burnt out to do anything about it.

    I know Jones used to disrespect his opponents back in his prime, but he could do that because of his god-given talent and skill. It showed how brilliant he was that he could try that **** against game fighters.

    Calzaghe was only able to do it because he was picking off an over-the-hill former great. Would have loved to have seen him try that **** against a prime Jones.

    (Plus Calzaghe looked like a ****** doing his dancing)

    Herol Graham vs Julian Jackson. He was seconds away from victory and decided it was a sensible idea to go in for the kill. :patsch
    Graham is one of my favourite fighters and would've played with some of the chumps who hold belts nowadays.

    Yeah, but RJJ deserved to be humiliated after screwing JC's career by ducking him all those years (as with all the other americans) and all the Yanks calling europeans Eurobums and criticizing Calzaghe for defending the WBO belt even though Barrera and De La Hoya had done the same except JC actually kept the title throughout, and... [edited for length].

    I couldn't help but understand JC - he's been screwed over by god knows who ever since childhood. Finally he gets some credit and it's right before his retirement. I'd like to make a big deal about it too...

    Riddick Bowe vs Andrew Golota II - Was practically a loss. Never seen so much punishment dished out in the Heavyweight division. Bowe had a huge heart, no question.

    Marco Antonio Barrera vs Amir Khan - First fight live, one of the all-time greats losing to a badly flawed C level fighter at the tail end of a wonderful career. My head was in my hands, with some fools screaming all around me.

    Antonio Margarito vs Shane Mosley - I think its disgusting that so many people enjoyed this beating. I don't think I've ever seen so much right hands land flush before. Margarito has one of the best chins I've ever seen, but even he had to eventually succomb that night. Should have stopped it, but he went back out to get hammered one last time. Cheater or not, somebody could have been killed.

    Kessler to Calzaghe - I was so dissappointed given how Kessler did so well in the openning rounds and the fact that he hammered Calzaghe in the final round made me all the more upset.

    How hard did JC actually chase Jones? Don't remember him going to one of Jones' press conferences and calling him out. Or taking a defense in the states to give himself a profile across the pond like Froch. Or beating one of Jones' former opponents in his backyard and calling him out after the fight like Hatton.

    Apologies if i'm wrong.

    It was horrific. The leverage Mosley was getting on those right hands was scary. Seeing Margarito badly hurt was surreal. He took Cotto's best shots, but this was too much for any mortal man too take. Why the **** was he let out the round after being clearly out on his feet is beyond belief. **** the cheating, the trainer should have been arrested for that alone.

    Tszyu against Hatton. The biased reffing, the fouling, the fans cheering the inentional low blow, Fenech calling the fight. Hatton' s refusal to rematch Tsyzu down under when Tszyu told the press he wanted that fight.

    Mexican fighters eh, they won't stop until they have to be carried out. If there was ever a time i wish it had been a european referee though it was then, he shouldn't have been allowed out for that last round.

    Agree with ya aswell about the barrera fight, i hate to see a legend past his best being used to pad the resume for a young fighter. Before the fight though I was worried it was going to be a lot worse.
