Leonard vs Norris. I damn near wanted to cry.

I agree. I'm a big Sugar Ray Leonard fan and that was heartbreaking.

I saw a bit of Erik Morales last fight on KOTV last night, he looked flat and chubby but the fight was actually exciting. Call me cruel, but I wouldn't mind seeing JMM vs Morales at 140lb.

I always wanted to see them fight. I think it would be a good scrap.

Still the saddest to me was Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis! I was so into the fight and had some much emotion for Iron Mike to win that fight that I was devastated LOL. I just remember Manny Stewart screaming to Lennox to "Knock this motherfucker out!" Over and over.

Zaheer Raheem out boxing Erick Morales is another one that absolutley killed me.

Iran Barkley TKOing Thomas Hearns. I was 8 years old and remember looking at my dad who was in utter disbelief, I then said "oh shit" and my father let me get away with it, one of those father son moments you never forget. He then explained to me that boxing was unique and used the analogy that Barkley had just hit the equivilant of a grand slam in baseball with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to win the world series. I still think it was a great analogy and even though Hearns is my all time favorite and I was heartbroken, this fight and others like it is what makes boxing my favorite sport.

Yeah that one is sad too. I really like Iron Mike.

I was there for Gatti-Gomez back in '07. Just sad seeing the guy who I would see in all those A.C fights fall apart like that. Ref should have stopped it much sooner, thank god Larry Hazzard stopped it.

Pacquiao beating Down Cotto, what hurt more was the money I lost in that fight.

Cotto vs Margarito! I thought Cotto would win and to see him get beat the way he did was hurtful! Even though I think Margo cheated, irregardless, he beat Cotto.
