I really really wish Ali-Foreman had ended with Ali being sent flying into the crowd.
I really wish Jeffries-Johnson had never happened.
It's hard to feel sorry for Tyson. The guy threw away $440 million, but at the same time, I think he would have been so much better off if he never got into boxing.

Holyfield /Lewis II. I thought Holyfield fought much better second time around and made the fight close. I saw lewis rocking all over the place in the 7th round and i was preying Evander ended it there. Another reason was Evnder had promised as always to retire if he became undisputed champ!

Seeing Richard Steele stop the Chavez/Taylor fight with 2 seconds life nearly shut my heart down.

I was also really pulling for Holyfield over Lewis the first time around. That loss/draw of Holyfield was hard to take because of my intense dislike for Lennox Lewis.

Trinidad getting ***** slapped by Hopkins cut real deep too.

Seeing Leonard lose (which if we want to be perfectly honest about it, he did) to Hagler was rough as well.

I've watched a lot of fights but I've never been as mad and dissapointed at the same time as when I was watching Hagler vs. Leonard. I've watched this fight certainly more then 5 times and I always scored it in favour of Marvelous Marvin. He got robbed that night.

I'm not really objective on this though since Marvin is one of my favourite fighters but I sincerley doubt that he would've lost the fight if he fought anyone else that night. Ray Leonard's road to succes was a lot easier than Marvins. He was always everybodies darling and while Hagler had to work his ass of to get the respect he deserved he (Leonard) was a star right after the olympiads.

This fight meant everything to Hagler, it wasnt just his biggest payday and one of the most anticipated fights ever, it was a clash of two different ways of living. Hagler the honest and hard worker versus Ray Leonard the big grin and soft drinks advertiser. Hagler was the better middleweight, he was fighting Leonard past his prime and it didnt hurt his legacy. But for me, he could've lost to anyone just not to Leonard. And I still doubt he lost it anyway. Everytime I think about this fight I see the picture of Hagler just waiving his right hand in total discust. I love boxing but after watching this fight I learned to hate it as well.

Most recently I could've shot anyone claiming Oscar DLH beat Felix Sturm. There's a young bright german talent finally making the move, boxing where it most matters against one of his idols and they just rob him of his biggest win, of a possible matchup with Hopkins and a secure place in boing history. And you guys still wonder why so few of this European champions fight in the USA...

The health care up there is bad, I heard.

It's always good to try and stir things up at times, so I'll give that.

Just wondering though, what it was that Lennox said and when?

And health care in Canada is bad, eh? Yeah, I suppose universal health care at no cost must seem "bad" to somebody.

Don't forget when your slaggin' the Canucks, that you could be wasting your time, we're probably not paying much attention anyway. We've got too much great beer and BCBud in our systems to get upset at much.

Dunno mate Ive heard bout East side boxing and as I write for a rival site I dont go there out of principal.

Ive found Jack ok apart fomr his irrantional love of Tyson seems like a cool dude to me? Just cos you dont agree dont mean they are bad people man, its the iditos that come in and spout off aobut you being this and that for no reason that bugs me.

to be honest the main board I post on is boxrec and they tolerate half of what goes on here, not sure if thats a good or bad thing but it sure keeps the board pretty boxing oriented.

Douglas v Tyson was the worst That one hit me hard.
Both Jones' losses.
Sure Hagler Lenard, but after watching it a third time, Hagler gave him the fight. He should have come out faster.
Lenard v Camacho... I was looking forward to watching Hector get his head beat in. Most Byrd fights. Oquendo should have Koed him. I just want to see him take a beating like Ike gave him.

Tyson to Douglas was unbelivable when I was a kid... Funny how after that fight I new I could beat Mike Tyson's Punchout!!! :D
Tyson to Lewis was just sad cause Tyson had nothing in that fight!!! He never showed any fire or any of the strength he once had at all.
Holyfiel to Toney was just sad too!!! I felt so bad for him in that fight!!! We all officially new he was finished as a fighter, but here he goes again. :confused:
Tua against Lewis was just awful too!!! Tua wins the first round and then just does absolutely nothing for the rest of the fight!!! He barely even threw a punch the rest of the fight!!!
Basicully any fight that singles the end of a fighters career is pretty tuff to take!!!

Roberto Duran WAS my idol. When he whipped Leonard in Montreal, well... That goes right up there in the important date column with the birth of my kids and March 8, 1971 when Joe whipped Ali's ass.

With that said, you can fully understand my disappointment when Roberto said "No Mas" during Leonard-Duran II. Still there was this feeling that it wasn't a complete victory for Leonard. Who knows what was going on in Roberto's head when he uttered those now famous words ? It left the door open for a rubber match that would take place years later.

It was so different when Hearns nearly tore Roberto's head off. Up to this fight only the great Esteban DeJesus had put Duran on floor. Tommy CREAMED him. It was unbelieveable. To see Roberto flat on his stomach at the feet of the towering Hearns was humbling to Roberto and his fans. Roberto had just gone fifteen tough rounds with Marvin Hagler. Who would have thought that Roberto would be so easily dispatched. They didn't call Thomas Hearns the "Hit Man" for nothing.

I don't recall Roberto ever pushing hard for a return match with Tommy !

Roberto Duran WAS my idol.

Everlast, what you wrote is what I felt. The "No mas" and the destruction at the hands of Thomas Hearns were hard to take and understand. Those loses were devastating for a Duran fan.

However, those two terrible Duran loses did make the stunning victories over Moore and Barkley two of the most memorable sports nights in my life. Without the bad ("No mas" and Hearns) we wouldn't appreciate the spectacular (Moore and Barkley) as much.

The Thrilla in Manilla when Frazier didn't answer the bell. That shyt crushed me.
Ima big Frazier fan, so his losses to Foreman were bad too, but not as bad as the Thirlla in Manilla.
Another loss is when Evander lost to Bowe in that great fight.
Umm....when Ali beats foreman in Rumble in the Jungle. I didn't feel like everyone else, who thought it was a fairy-tale.
Tyson to Douglas is another one, when mike tries to pick up his mouth-guard and continue, but cant.
And when Tyson lost to Lennox Lewis. Alotta people clown tyson when he says "I can't do it" to his trainer.But that shyt killed me, just like the thrilla in manilla. He was like my idol, I based my whole fighting style on him and frazier. And when mike quit like that......

Holmes

2)Just when you thought Mike Tyson was back on track, he gets

knocked out by Danny Williams. ( anybody else notice in almost

all Tysons losses he manages to get knocked out, just once would

I like to see him go the distance and lose by decision)

Hey No Mas,
I agree. The Barkley fight is one of my all time favorites. Nobody gave Roberto a chance in that one. I thought Roberto beat Paz the first time around. Duran looked very lethargic in the return match. I just re-watched Duran-Camacho I the other night. NO WAY Roberto lost that fight !!! That to me was probably the last time Roberto looked good in the ring.
