I watched it, until the debate,

but was impressed. I miss when boxing (heavyweight) was good. Also, it's a shame what that girl did to Tyson, as well as that snake promoter (King).

I always like Holyfield, too.

I miss it too... Those fights were national events. I liked Holyfield from the start and never thought he got the respect he deserves. Benny Hinn aside, I always admired how he seemed to keep his cool no matter how much a fool Tyson and especially King acted all those times. That said, there has never been a fighter that struck fear in his opponents the way Tyson did. That guy was an absolute animal. Watch the rest of it if you get the chance....I thought it was great.

I grew up in the 80s watching Tyson fight on HBO. I loved watching boxing back then and wouldn't miss a fight. Unfortunately, Pay-Per-View came along and all the good matches became inaccessible to me. I don't think I saw another big time fight until I was old enough to go to a bar. PPV killed the popularity of boxing and has aged it's fanbase. The big 3 sports in this country used to be: Baseball, Boxing & Horse Racing. My how times have changed.

I remember the Tyson/Buster Douglas fight like it was yesterday.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Biggest upset ever.

Why oh why wasn't there Twitter when Tyson was in his prime?!?

Would have been an EPIC follow.
