          i had just begun boxing when a friend of mine brought over a video. We were kids and he put it in the vcr and said, This is faces of Death, you'll love it. I didnt like the thing at all. When it showed Johnny owen it freaked me out. Some things in this world are not meant to be exploited for money. I realize that boxers roll the dice with their lives at stake everytime that they step up to throw but I found it extremely distatefull and unsettling to watch the clips of the bout. a silent ten count for Johnny. He fought to the end.........Rockin'

            I just watched the video from the giant wang, it was very good. Seeing the clips in that video gave me a different feeling than watching it on the f.o.d video. This was done with class, in the memorie of Johnny were the other video was pure garbage. Thanks for putting that video clip up. As johnny did, it has heart........Rockin'

                A few are:

                Morales, M. Taylor, Cesar Bazan, Juan Manuel Marquez.

                In my opinion Barrera should not be included.

                      no offense to neither, but wasnt it Trinidad who all but quit against Hopkins....and Barrera who pretty much looked for a way out against Pacquaio?

                      hmmmmmmmm.
