Been at this long enough, there have been so very many. Believe it or not, I seen Tyson-Douglas and Jones-Tarver coming. I did not see Ali-Foreman, Spinks-Holmes, Leonard-Hagler and a lot of others though.

The Hatton fight had some interesting possabilities. Hatton has become a dry humping, safety first type fighter and it seemed to me that his father (in particular) was messing him up by advocating this strategy. I am not so sure that if Hatton had fought like he had against Zoo, putting punches together and swarming, instead of holding and hitting for the fights preceding the Floyd fight, that he may have had more success.
I didn't think Hatton would beat Floyd but Hatton had fast feet to close the counter punching gap, and Hatton could be a relentless swarmer. It was a deceptively dangerous fight for Floyd....If Hatton had showed up fighting as he had for Zoo Floyd would be fighting a better version!
Floyd timed Hatton beautifully but Hatton had a chance....I don't think it was absurd to pick Hatton for that fight.
Another interesting thing about that fight was that Floyd showed a lot more physical strength than people had attributed to him. Hatton could not make it ugly but it was reasonable to assume he might be able to do so inside. I can't laugh at anyone for picking Hatton in that fight.

Khan Garcia. I thought Khan would run rings round Garcia but in round 2 I got the feeling Garcia would land something big.
Tyson Danny Williams. I know Danny and used to train with him years ago. I was in Thailand at the time of the fight and decided not to stay up and watch my old friend being beat up.
