    What big fight have you not seen?

    Time to come clean...we're all huge boxing fans, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's missed one or two of the more recent famous fights.

    I'll start things off: I've never seen Holyfield-Tyson II (the "bite" fight). I can't even bring myself to watch it now...too embarassing for the sport.

    As far as recent big fights are concerned I don't know if there is any, I pretty much refuse to miss them...I was up in San Fran for a weekend a couple years ago and drove all over town and finally found a bar that had the Freitas v. Attah fight on....there cable went out right before fight time...I was pissed! so I missed that one....this past weekend I flew to Denver to watch my beloved Denver Broncos and I went to someones house that I had never met before (my friend new him) and I put up the money so I could watch the fight, prize fights are like crack!

    I still need to buy Alex Stewart v. Evander Holyfield 1, it kills me that I have not seen that fight.

      I'm embarassed to admit it, but I've never seen JCC/Taylor or Tyson/Holyfield I. I saw the Legendary Nights version of JCC/Taylor....but have never seen the fight in it's entirity.

        kind of hard these days to not see fights due to internet and video. I did miss Tyson-Douglas originally when it was live becuase I had banquet to go to that I couldn't miss. I figured just another blow out for Tyson..won't miss anything....boy was I pissed when the news hit me at the party at about midnight and after 1 or 12 drinks!!!!

        No fear, saw it the next morning on tape.

        Also missed DLH-Trinidad live becuase it was my anniversary(10th)..wifey wouldn't give me the parole

                I've missed a few of 'big George's' fights, but thanks to ESPN Classic I'm working on changing that!
