    Arguello/Pryor 1 happened in that same time frame and that got to me also but not like Hearns/Leonard. Tito/Hop followed. I was at a party and left.

Roy/Tarver ripped pretty deep because Roy was right up there with Tommy but I half expected it after Ruiz and how he looked in the first Tarver fight.
    I agree on each but

    Leonard vs Hagler and
    Leonard vs Heard are by far the worst for me.

    Strangely I respect Leonard as much as any fighter now.(even if he started all the money issues in the sport as far as I'm concerned)

    Have to say Froch v Groves 1 left a bitter taste in the mouth. Groves had done everything he said he was gonna do and dismantled Froch. They were both fucked at te time of the stoppage and I think he could've beat Froch.
    Funnily enough, I reckon Groves himself will have more regrets about the 2nd fight cos he fucked it up really, clearly conserving energy to get through the championship rounds and getting caught by a sucker punch (albeit a very good one!)
    Tyson losing his invincibility was a bit of a piss off as well.

    As stated nothing tops Hearns/Ray 1 for me and I really had no dog in the fight with Ray and Marvin. I had grown to respect both but that was after that stacked era calmed down. I think I may have scored the Hagler/Leonard fight more times then any other fight and the best I can come up with is a draw. I have never scored that fight for Leonard. Shit I think we scored it once together years ago.

    He really was the Floyd of his day. Still the biggest draw in the sport 3 years after retirement. Still think Floyd might pull something similar although he's already retired for over 3 years

    Not sure why Hagler gave up 15 rds, gloves, ring size and came out fighting right handed? A severe case of hubris or something.

    Wilfred Benitez vs. Bruce Curry I

    I was there at Madison Square Garden.

    We sat in disbelief as the Scorecards were read.

    A 'horrible' Decision against Bruce.

    Briggs over Foreman. Maybe the worse decision in history.

    Cant believe the UFC fight with gus a few nights ago went down like that, first time in history we host something this big in sweden and it ended in less then 3 minutes. everybody was watching, this will not be good for boxing/ufc it self. can't get over it, I'm on a vacation and been buried inside my sheets at this hotel for the last couple of nights now with a bottle of vodka next to me! Hopefully i can get over this soonish!

    Tyson vs. Holyfield 1. Still shocks me. He was gone then... really gone and done.

    DLH vs. Trinidad. That was the greatest robbery every on such a grande scale. That was by far criminal.

    RJJ @ The 88 Olympics. Listen, if they had a problem with Americans, just say so. They should have given RJJ an honorary medal.

    JCCSr. vs Taylor. That is one of the most heart-breaking moments in sports history. Imagine in the NBA finals, Michael Jordan breaking his ankle in the third quarter of the 7th Game, and the ankle break was caused by the opposing coach putting his foot in the middle of the court of play on purpose, with his team up by more than 30-- and the other team comes back to win by one point at the last seconds of the game? Shit makes you want to fucking shoot someone.

    RJJ Olympics-Yeah, that brought me down too. Taylor's loss to me was more of a wtf moment...Never wanted to see Ref steele ever again.. This commercial should be done for boxing also

    Morales vs Pac 2. It was sad seeing Morales having to quit. He was obviously weight drained and not the same fighter. It still upsets me that people still act like it's a big win. It was more sad than anything because Morales just wasn't himself anymore.

    The most recent for me was the first Price fight against Thompson. Particularly after having compiled and posted this




    Hatton Pacquiao also was pretty scary nobody seemed to check if he was OK and for a minute I thought he was a goner. His last fight against Senchenko was almost as bad for different reasons. He was a shadow of the fighter he used to be but he still hung in there for a few rounds which made the inevitable even more bitter a pill to swallow. Bruno/Tyson again particularly after Harry's "he's hurt Tyson...get in there Frank"

    God there are so many That's why I don't bet anymore

    I think the book called

    In the Corner: Great Boxing Trainers Talk about Their Art...Has the Petronellis brothers saying the same thing. They didn't prepare him to come out orthadox..and even felt he gave away the first 4 rounds because of it.

    10 years old watching Holmes beat up Ali. Fought back tears, like Ali, I didnt fight well enuff to win.

    I didn't even know Tyson was scheduled to fight Buster Douglass. Next day headline simply read "It's True." Watching him on his knees, getting up with a mouthpiece hangin' out his mouth, I was shook.

    Bowe stopping Holy fight 3- Hoy went down like that was the heart attack fight.
    Toney stopping Holyfield. His trainer just walked in & hugged him like--its over man, let it go...

    Gomez stopping Gatti. Nuff said.

    Grant stopping Herol Graham. I could not talk to anyone for hours as I was so upset.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I always liked Herol and would have thought the Jackson fight would have been harder to stomach for his big fans. I thought Herol was about to get Julian in trouble and then..........

    His fight with the body snatcher is one of my favourites.
