LOL I am a huge Gatti fan and he has given me my moneys worth in the ring more times then I can count but the poor guy just swells like nothing...

I could not imagine what a bout of hay fever does to him

Rahman's hematoma is the worst but in terms of swelling that must be it

Booze its when a punch catches a nerve , then is causes massive swelling.
One of the worest ive seen is that really ugly one on Naseem Hameds shoulders its even got ears

Actually I think Rahman's conition was more serious. In that fight he received a hematoma, which is a bleed within the cranium.

If it were intracranial he wouldn't be able to fight in the States anymore. Maybe it was above the cranium?

Nah, that was caused by Evander's 'Third Punch'. At least Chris Byrd had the common sense to stay away from it.

ghoster, good to see you on here....
Hey if I remember correctly wasn't Avila a last minute replacement?
Eddie was a highly talked about prospect and then this fight put a question mark on him.....
Eddie looses his next fight and then years later looses to Elicer and MAB.

I think the worst I have seen are:

Rachman vs Holyfield

Vargas vs Mosley

Thiam vs Trinidad (This one was particularly impressive cause it only took 3 rounds)

No s!!!. Nice one Mick.I think you got it with Avila as a Last minute replacement.Cook was all brass In his first bout outside of 8 rounds.He did well to box out over 12,bout was almost stopped a couple times if I remember right.

Cook was Pure excitment.....Fast burning and short run but Fun to watch.He did bounce back in next fight after Avila loss to look real sharp with Dominate Clinic Tko over Continentals Americas Champion...(If that means anything lol) Johnny Vasquez.Dio Andujar got him ugly in Next fight....I think(?) a one punch KO loss.

He Got his Belt with Picture-esqu KO over Very credible Israel Contreas then made An Ill fated venture to Columbia where He Traded KD's in a real battle and Iffy call (Imo) with Julio.Real solid exciting fighter..........With a better chin He might have hung around.

Morales' eye is ruined! I agree with Magic, that pic shows a far worse eye than what i remember!

Gotta put up Vargas' eye too:

Shane must have had something in his fists.
