    Not a great fight, a great performance...otherwise that'd be far and away my number one hardest to watch.

    I still cannot watch Tyson-Douglas, and probably will never be able to.

    That's because you're a ******* mate, you didn't need to point out the obvious. I couldn't begin to fathom the amount of times you've jacked off over Manny and his little mustache.

    "Joppy-Duran." But I knew it was coming................ Hell, Ol' Duran even got an extra two months to train cuz the initial date in June 1998 was cancelled when "Holy-Akinwande" fell apart in New York because of a hepititas scare from Akinwande........ It didn't matter.... A 47 year old Duran was fodder for Joppy in August 1998...... Age was a BIG factor....... Peace......

    Certainly wouldn't qualify as a great fight by any means.

    I don't know about great, but one fight I can NEVER watch is the one featuring the mighty matchstick man in my avatar. Tragedies have been all too common in boxing through the ages, but this one......

    Hugh McIlvanney's article concerning the fight and the aftermath is one of THE great pieces of sports journalism.

    ''THE nightmare that had been threatening her for years had become reality. She can scarcely avoid being bitter against boxing now and many who have not suffered such personal agony because of the hardest of sports will be asking once again if the game is worth the candle. Quite a few of us who have been involved with it most of our lives share the doubts. But our reactions are bound to be complicated by the knowledge that it was boxing that gave Johnny Owen his one positive means of self-expression. Outside the ring he was an inaudible and almost invisible personality. Inside, he became astonishingly positive and self-assured. He seemed to be more at home there than anywhere else. It is his tragedy that he found himself articulate in such a dangerous language.

    The doctors’ struggle to rescue Johnny Owen from deep coma proved to be hopeless and he died in the first week of November 1980. His body was brought home to be buried in Merthyr Tydfil.''

    yes im a pacquiao fan and believer

    and barrera is my favorite victim

    a pre-prime ATG destroying the ego of a prime ATG in his best weight infront of a pro-mexican crowd

    such a perfect setting to prepare us to the legend of the pacific storm
