Holmes vs Holyfied would have a joy the watch. It happened. It wasn't that great of a fight. Brian.

Holmes was a legit heavyweight champ, I think it would have been lopsided. I liked Evander, I wouldn't have wanted to see that.  Evander cruised and won 8 rounds against Holmes. Brian.

John Collins/ Lenny LaPaglia was a good fight. Always enjoyed watching Ray Mancini and Sean O'Grady, too.

I should have said in the prime . It certainly would have been more competitive. Brian.

Yeah,..Mancini was fun to watch, but his career ended after he killed Duk-Koo Kim in the ring.
He wouldn't finish after that.

He wouldn't finish after that. Can't really blame him. The ref in the Kim fight felt so guilty about it that he commited suicide shortly thereafter. Brian.

I watched that one too. Kim was amazing. More amazing was the fact that it never got stopped. It set a precedent.......

Yes.
The first man to show that Ali was a sucker for a left hook.

The best boxing lesson taught to a contender was that by Joe Calzoghy from Whales when he fought the silver spoon kid called "left hook lacey" such boxing skills I have not seen in the last 40 years. By the way Joe was undefeated for over 10 years and took on all commers.

Thank you for showing the Big Cat Williams attempt at Ali. I missed that one in Houston, although I did see Williams outpoint Zora. Live in Houston. Won $50 on that one.
Jim from Houston. Now in Zavalla,Tx.
