    Which fighters should have gotten KO'd with a punch but didn't?

    Shavers knocks down Holmes with a powerful shot but Homles gets up quickly.

    Lewis punishes Mike Tyson with powerful shots but Tyson doesn't go down til the 9th.

    Lewis stuns Vitali with an uppercut but still stays up.

    Tyson KD on Douglas, he got up at 12 but the ref's counting was delayed.

    Frazier's KD on Ali.

      The uppercuts that Lewis and Bowe hit Holyfield with should have decapitated old Evander but he was too much of a beast to go down. Those were ****** uppercuts too...

      Toney should have had Jirov on his ass with some of those right hand/left hook combos he landed in the 10th and early 12th rounds but Jirov stayed up until 15 seconds to go when he was drilled by a savage bodyshot and about 3 right hands.

        Also, that right cross that Arguello landed on Pryor in their first fight should have taken Hawks head clean off, but he wanted to win too much. Arguello, even though he was past his best weight and fighting days, was a devastating puncher and that was about as hard a punch as he's ever landed.

              What's happenin big dog? Man I haven't even thought about the fact that I'm ordering the fight tommorow (me and my roommate are splitting cost 50/50) and now I'm kind of excited. ****ing college work SUCKS!

              I'm going with a Bernard Hopkins 10th round TKO of Jermain Taylor. I think Hopkins is going to land a really good punch in the early going that will somewhat shake Taylors confidence and Hopkins will then start to go to work. I think his punch output will be a little higher earlier on and he will start finding the mark with that right hand in the mid-late rounds. In the 9th, Hopkins is going to hit Taylor with something ****** that hurts him, and will do the same in the 10th, but will finish him off when he sees the opportunity.

                Gerald McClellan had no business taking some of the shots he took in his first bout with Julian Jackson.

                  Holyfield taking a big Bowe uppercut in the first fight, 10th round. Then got knocked all over the show and finished the round strong, warrior to the end!

                    Renaldo Snipes viciously knocks Larry Holmes down in the 7th rd. Larry ends up winning by TKO late in the fight.
