Throwback Thursday
To be honest, I'm not sure I've ever sat down and watched all these from start to finish. Difficult to remember because you see highlights pop up from time to time, but I can't remember watching them at the time. I'm going to tuck into them at the weekend.
Great idea, and good pick. Other good ones have been mentioned, JMM v Pacquaio is my favourite just for the narrative of all the questionable decisions and then the completely decisive ending (which I also made a few quid on!). Feels like you could just keep going with smaller weights from around 2000-2010 and keep coming up with good stuff. JMM, Morales, MAB, Pacquaio, Gatti, Ward, what a time.
Wouldn't mind looking at some of the 90s heavyweights again just because I was a bit young to appreciate it at the time. Something like Holyfield/Bowe would be good to watch again. Good stuff with the middleweights in that era too.
Of course the series we're all thinking of but is too obvious to mention is Audley Harrison's campaigns at heavyweight in the mid naughties. Rogan, Sprott, and the great trilogy that never was with Williams. The scourge of doormen and cab drivers up and down the country. What a time to be alive.
