The Things That Stay With You

[Master]

Nice of you to acknowledge the sacrifice that Ali made especially when you admit you were against him. That takes a lot to admit you were wrong and you are right about that left hook, how the hell did he get up. Another great thread and learned some more about courageous fighters like Arguello.

Magic thread as it reminds me why i love boxing so much and greats read guys.

Arce v Vasquez – whirlwind of punches, tons of heart and courage from being knocked down but would not be denied to stop the younger undefeated fighter in the last round.

Herol Graham boxing with sublime skills and hands down moving away within inches from the bombs of the Mr T impersonator of Rod Douglas (think of a southpaw Nigel Benn) and slowly tiring him out to stop him.

Michael Watsons face after returning from the first round against Mike McCallum thinking what the hell have I got myself into. I cannot breath from those body shots.

Tyson destroying Berbick with speed, precision and power in 2 rounds to welcome a new era in boxing.

Seeing Hit Man Hearns eyes as he is walking into the ring, thinking he is going to blow away poor old Roldan.

The skills, balance and footwork of Terry Norris dissecting Mugabi to become champion.

The brutal and hurtful punches of JCC superstar as he stalks his many opponents who run for cover.

The sheer ferocity and anger of Nigel Benn’s punching aiming to blow away the opponent from the universe.

All great ones, especially the bold. Man I'd have lost a lot of money on Arce ever being competitive at the championship level again.
