Floyd Mayweather Jr-Arturo Gatti
------------------------------
Even Max Kellerman could see this one coming when before the fight he called it the biggest PPV mismatch since Lewis-Tyson. Never did you get the feeling that Gatti was going to be able to turn it on. The only thing that changed was the degree of visible effect Mayweather's punches were having on Gatti. Gatti was never able to make Mayweather miss, but who really expected that?
As Lampley said, "This is becoming increasingly difficult to watch." It sucks when a guy spends all of his energy making you hate him only to have him beat the daylights out of one of your favorite fighters."
Shaun George-Chris Byrd
--------------------------
Everyone expected Byrd to return to 175 as some knockout artist, but a slap is a slap at any weight. After the first round knockdown it was plain to see that Byrd wasn't going to duck down and slip George's punches because they were too fast and too accurate. It was like an autopsy on a living body.
Rocky Marciano-Joe Louis
----------------------
This was a BS fight. I saw the scene in "Coming to America" when they were talking about this fight and it made me want to jump through the screen and yell, "Look at him, he was balding already!" Louis was old and spent by that time and should have stayed retired after the Walcott rematch. It was sad to see Louis falling out of the ring that way.
