David Reid-Felix Trinidad

Good one. Everyone like to bring up Vargas, but Tito mentally destroyed Reid. He had the skill to be an excellent fighter but totally lost his confidence after his loss to Trinidad.

[Joey Giardello]

Rid**** Bowe vs Andrew Golota, that first golota fight finished bowe.

Naseem Hamed vs Marco antonio Barrera, naz never got over that defeat to barrera.

Marvin Hagler vs Alan Minter

Felix Trinidad vs Ricardo Mayorga

[JAB5239]

Rid**** Bowe vs Andrew Golota, that first golota fight finished bowe.

I've always thought the 3rd fight with Holyfield was his last great stand and the fight that finished him at the top.

I've always thought the 3rd fight with Holyfield was his last great stand and the fight that finished him at the top.

I did too. Even though Bowe won that fight he took major punishment and nearly got KO'd himself.
