    Can't find it via skimming the fight, all I can remember about it was it was in the middle or late rounds I think and at the top left corner of the ring relative to the camera.

            Although I'm not sure if it was sportsmanship or just caution, but Lennox Lewis didn't attack an obviously mentally disturbed Oliver McCall. If that had been Tyson or Dempsey it would have been 100% attack mode.

              That is one of the weirdest fights I've ever watched.

                Another good example is the way Larry Holmes beckons and pleads with the referee to stop him from hurting Marvis Frazier..

                  You might question the motives, but George Foreman helped a guy stay standing up when the ref was talking to him (George) mid fight.

                  Can't remember which fight

                      Aguello defined good sportsmanship IMO. He showed respect to everyone and during his career recieved it in return. Even the opponents that wanted to rip his head off during a fight found it hard not respect and admire him.
