    ...Norton was a hell of a puncher

    I remember that left uppercut Foreman caught him with. Made Norton's head jerk up so hard it looked grotesque. He landed the left uppercut then the right uppercut and it sent Norton sprawling, last knockdown of their bout.

      WAY better fight than Ali vs. Spinks, this should have been FOTY.

      While were at it, another unappreciated fight is Barrera vs. McKinney. That was an AMAZING fight, really one of the most action packed fights Ive ever seen, but Tyson vs. Holyfield got FOTY. Just big names get some fighters the award...

        Barerra vs McKinney is one of my favorite fights, you got that right...It's a great one. Effective bodywork displayed in that fight by both fighters. Any up and comer should study that fight...You know I went to a pro card in Baton Rouge and got McKinney's autograph..Nice guy..He was like the only guy there who was famous.


        I wish I had that fight

          Norton wasn't a big puncher.

            Speaking of underappreciated Tyson bouts... ever seen Tyson-Ruddock I?

            Great fight.

              Great fight, but then I find it funny how people hate on todays heavys.

              These guys are just there tired, throwing punches, being wide open, missing this that, not exactly displaying supperior boxing ability to clear out the HW division of the last 7 years.

                .....I forgot how great that last round was. Simply amazing stuff. You had the feeling the whole time that Norton was ripe for the taking right up until the very end.

                  Speaking of great heavyweight fights. ESPN has been showing a lot of Holyfield fights recently. I forgot how great the Foreman fight was. Round seven was incredible.

                    You gotta admit...Larry Holmes was an underrated fighter.

                    Man he had the best jab in business
