    and fuck you for bringing up Akinwande-Welsh. My God what a terrible fight. That was the first of five bouts aired that night on Showtime, making a five-hour night feel like five days

    Bowe Golota II was one of the best heavyweights fights ever how dare you put it among all these debacles?

    It happened in the time span and it had a controversial ending like all of them (except for Akinwande-Welsh, which had a reliefing end). I agree with you it was a great fight

    Bowe-Golota 2 is one of my favorite fights of all-time. The ending may have been a letdown but the fight as a whole was simply amazing.

    I don't know about the rest. Holyfield-Tyson 2 and Lewis-McCall 2 have that train-wreck sort of appeal but watching Tyson disgrace himself in the ring like that was bad, and knowing that the medical reports of McCall were ignored makes it sad, especially since McCall is so often ridiculed. The guy shouldn't have been there in the first place.

    Tyson-Seldon at least gives me a laugh.

    I guess this is the list I'd agree with.

    But with the exception of Bowe-Golota II; this is like a worst of the worst list. :doh:

    The first Golota-Bowe fight was kind of entertaining, though it was more 1-sided than the rematch.
