I thought Holmes/Spoon was as artistic as those old picture perfect Walcott/Charles dances. Has there been a two-sided heavyweight title fight that skilfull since?

(Perhaps Tubbs/Spoon could have been as glorious, had TNT come in somewhere near 220?)

I like in the 9th round where both realise a knockout isn't on the cards. They go back to boxing again afte that. Fantastic fight, wish it was 15 rounds then maybe there could have been a clear winner.

i just love how Larry soaks up that punishment, wobbled, then takes a hideous shot to the ribs, and another behind the ear, and thirty seconds later he's coming on like round 15 of the Norton fight. I sit up and applaud in awe every time I see it.

Larrys jab is amazing but his heart and toughness are equal. Was Tim ever as good again?

Spoon pretty much took his jab away that night, too. and no, never that good again, not that I saw.

Larry was also deadly when hurt v Weaver. I find his performance against what is obviously an extremely dangerous Tiger Williams quite scintillating too.

I've not seen the Roy Williams fight, will aim to watch it tonight.
