    Commander Vander, Big Daddy, and Fan Man all came together on this date 20 years ago. Hard to believe it's been 20 years. Bowe's entourage pulled the guy off the ropes and were pummelling him with a walkie-talkie. Good thing he was wearing a helmet.

    20 years, man...hard to believe it's been that long.

    Damn, we are getting old

    It was the worst fight of the trilogy, which says much since it was an excellent bout. Holyfield had a great plan of battle that night and he was ripping Bowe into pieces early on. I am still convinced (being a big Bowe fan) that without the break Holyfield would have ran out of gas and Bowe would have prevailed in the late rounds

    Fan Man died about 10 years after that fight. It was pretty long afterwards.

    Bowe deserved the decision. The guys who pummeled fan man were assholes.

    as a Holyfield fan I was thrilled by the outcome. Fight number III was painful to watch since Holy was doing so well early on until he ran out of gas so soon.

    Much better than our current crappy heavy division. 20 years from now, no one, except maybe you, will be reminiscing about this time in the division.

    Only if it will give me amnesia and make me forget most of the last 10 years or so of heavyweight boxing.

    You could just say this instead of anything else you've ever said (or will say) in any other topic ever and you would save everyone a lot of time.:lol:
