    Simple one for me.

    One of my favourite fighters is Riddick Bowe. The fight I enjoyed watching the most is his first encounter with Holyfield. The tenth round was probably one of the best in history. For me no other fight comes close.

    The hardest fight / fights to watch was when he fought Golota.

    Alexis Arguello

    Favorite fight: Arguello/Mancinni. In that fight Alexis became the first fighter to succesfully defend world titles in 3 divisions. The handful of 3 division champions who came before him either vacated without a defense, or lost on the first try. In a 12 round fight Mancinni may have won. I had him ahead, but El Flaco Exlposivo showed us why rounds 13-15 were always called "The Championship Rounds!"

    Least Favorite: Arguello/Pryor II. It broke my heart to see the once fearless warrior sit on the canvass and take a ten count.

    Tyson is my favorite boxer
    Tyson/Spinks is my favorite fight
    Tyson/Lewis, hurt me the most, especially when Tyson was on the canvas and blood was coming from all the cuts he had around both eyes.

    Sanchez-Gomez
    Dawson-Adamek
    Corrales-Castillo (even though I was at Corrales-Freitas and it was GREAT!)

    Worst Fight
    Corrales-Clottey
