            Hernandez in the Litzau fight was something amazing. He was taking such a beating, losing on all score cards, and on the verge of getting TKO'd when he knocked out Litzau. I thought was a really great fight and Hernandez showed a lot of heart.

              I gotta say it was Douglas-Tyson for me. Buster, for one night in his life, proved that any man can beat any other man, no matter what the odds. His mom had died two week prior, the mother of his son was in the hospital, he was fighting the flu bug, and was a 42-1 underdog against one of the most feared fighter who'd ever lived at that time. He had no chance.

              ...but he showed us. I still get a warm feeling when I recall it to my minds eye. I couldn't believe what I was seeing; but it happened...and no one can ever take that away from him.

              The Underdog won that day.

                I have to agree with this as well. Even though I am a huge Tyson fan, I have to respect the courage and will of Buster Douglas. He put on an amazing fight and exposed Tyson for being overly confident and not preparing the way he should have.

                  Most proud huh...? As far as regarding my favorite fighters...it would probably have to be Morales beating Mr. Pacquiao in their first encounter or James Toney coming back to KO Michael Nunn. I hated Nunn...admired his skills but I still didn't like him much.

                  As far as just all around it has to be Duran beating Iran Barkley. That was one of the most gutsy and beautiful boxing performances I have seen. Barkley was a huge middleweight and Duran showed that size alone won't get it done in the ring.

                      Ahhh, Duran-Barkley was one of my favorites as well. I had the same feeling watching that one as I did watching Douglas-Tyson a year later. Amazing night that was.
