    Jesus Christ. You aren't kidding.

    Anifowoshe died from his brain injury in 1994.

    Quiroga was stabbed to death in 2004.

      Kid Akeem developed a blood clot and collapsed right after the decision, he had successful surgery to remove the clot but died a few years later because of injuries sustained in the fight.

      Quiroga got murdered in 2004.

      RIP to both of them.

        It's a tie between Chavez-Taylor and Holyfield-Bowe for me. Since I can only pick one, I'll go with Bowe-Holyfield.
        Haha I felt the same way yet i voted for Chavez -Taylor

          Bump... it saddens me that people don't want to talk about FOTYs, they just want to talk about Floyd.

              I saw it live as well and watched it a few times since but not for at least 12 years. I still have it somewhere on video. One of the most brutal fights I ever saw but then like you said maybe my memories are greater than the actual fight.

              Dwiens it does surprise me you're not that impressed by this fight.

                Not impressed only because it WAS a Fight of the Year.

                Holyfield-Tyson was a great fight, but it isn't very good CONSIDERING it is a FOTY.

                Give me Robinson-Gatti or Castillo-Corrales way before you give me Quiroga-Anifowoshe.

                  Thanks for making the thread. I haven't seen four of the fights listed.

                  I'll definately have to check out Robert Quiroga vs. Akeem Anifowoshe and Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson

                    I uploaded Quiroga vs. Anifowoshe recently in the video section. Get it!

                    I also upped Sorjaturong vs. Gonzalez recently too if that is one you haven't seen.

                      Thanks! I'll make sure to snag it when I get home from work. My collection of fights is slowly but surely getting larger

                      I also upped Sorjaturong vs. Gonzalez recently too if that is one you haven't seen.
                      Nope, haven't seen that one either.
