Two of the most brutal rivalries and fights in the heavyweight division are..? Riddick Bowe vs Evander Holyfield I II & III Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier is proclaimed the greatest boxing heavyweight rivalry but..? Holyfeild vs Bowe was the most brutal. Riddick Bowe vs Andrew Golota II. Riddick Bowe during the first Andrew Golota fight, fat and in the worst condition of his life. He vowed never ever to be in that type of condition again and guess what..? Went into ****** during the build up to the rematch, and lost over 40 pounds in a matter of weeks, i cannot remember the exact amount of weight he lost but.? It was something ******ed. Due to this ****** preparation, he came into the fight weight drained. The only muscle that was not weight drained was his heart, still pumping that human will. Possible Riddick Bowe came out of the Holyfield trilogy of fights destroyed, just like Muhammad Ali came out of the Frazier trilogy destroyed and with chronic damage. Both guys abused each other but..? Andrew Golota really dished out some sadistic serial killer type work on Riddick Bowe, really bad! Bowe somehow took it, and kept on moving! [yt]Nha3JQOFjDo[/yt]
Watson was very good, Nigel Benn is my favourite ever boxer but Watson was better, for me best of the bunch from that era.
Calzaghe - Lacy Vitali - Briggs Marquez - Katsidis This is probably a surprising one but in recent times Danny Garcia v Amir Khan, after the first KD I felt physically sick watching him get handled in the 4rd round. Mayweather - Corrales was a mentally breaking fight
Lacy was handed a beatdown in every way possible Must be soul destroying to take that much of a hiding and not be able to change the course of the fight no matter what you try People downplay this performance now because they say lacy was overrated and made for Joe but I think that is taking away from possibly the most complete performance I've ever seen in the ring For me this was his best night better than the Kessler,Hopkins,eubank nights
And yet Dennis still had Tommy down IMO, just before the fight was stopped. But the fight was effectively over after 'that' knockdown in the sixth.
Yeah, the ref let him taking a beating all fight and then stopped the fight just after Andries had clipped Hearns and at least had some small success of a flash KD.
didn't he actually say he wished briggs was permanently damaged in it.briggs made **** all as well [yt]geHBBMRpBMg[/yt] for one round this was brutal
