    does this have anything to do with the load of shit in book-form that Boxing's all time biggest moron, Ferdie Pacheco, put out 10 years ago? Please tell me it doesn't and than that book was called "12 rounds' or something

    Ferdie Pacheco is a pompous prick and his 12 "greatest" rounds were just historic rounds, not great ones.

    I read an article of The Ring where they reviewed Pacheco's autobio, and he actually claimed that boxing became more humane and less barbaric as a result of him.

    I know Pacheco is 200 years old and in bad health, but I would punch him right in his fat mouth anyway

    classic round, brilliant
     
  10. Xplosive

    Xplosive X-MOD Bad Motherfucker

    Not the GREATEST round in history, but round 12 of Chavez-Taylor definitely ranks amongst the most dramatic rounds in history.

    Round 10 of Holy-Bowe 1 will always stick out though. I never liked Holy, but its hard not to get chills watching that round. Partially because of Lampley's infamous "REVERSING THE TIDE OF THE BATTLE!" Thats back when Lampley was a GREAT blow-by-blow guy, and not the cheerleading/biased shell that he is today.
