I think we can all name a few times in those fights where it could have been stopped and justifiably so...In those bouts they seemed superhuman...IMO during those bouts there was no one else in the game that could have went at it toe to toe like they did...It's like you can not describe what came over those two....same for the Rafael/Vazquez and Bowe/Holyfield bouts......it is a wonder none of them were hurt permanently

Bowe and Holyfield are heading towards being punch drunk and we will have to see the effects with Vasquez and Marquez.

I was speaking of the fight themselves...Can't blame that on their fights against each other....Though it did not help....Holyfield was going to end up that way regardless...Just the style he had...took too many shots from too many big punchers....

Yes that is correct BIG H and i didn't think Benn took too long getting back in the ring anyway. I haven't seen it in years but i remember him only taking like 9 seconds to get back in the ring.
