    And after the fight came the furious backpedaling as many of the Tyson faithful claimed, despite picking Tyson to win by early KO (some as early as the first round or whenever Tyson landed a solid punch), they "knew" Lewis would win all along.

    I think people were more pissed when the fighters entrances were delayed.

    I had tickets to Hopkins-Trinidad. When the towers got bombed, the fight was postponed. So I got a refund and stayed home to watch it.

    I honestly have never cared about the heavyweight division as much as the others.

    What I remember about it is that someone started a thread saying "The Big Question" or "The Real Question" and it was how long the fight would be postponed.

    Someone replied, the big question is who killed thousands of people, not the date of a boxing match.

    For the most part, the magnitude of the fight was minimized.
