How's the quality on these downloads? Are they DVD size files? Also I assume you transfer them to disc, if so, how does that hold up? One more question, is it torrent or ftp to download?

Duran vs. Barkley --- watch it immediately.

Outside of the NY Rangers winning the Stanley Cup, the single greatest, most emotional sporting event I ever saw was Duran/Barkley.

Duran vs. Barkley is what sports is all about. I come from a family of Duran fans and what an experience to see it live. Screaming so loud we could have waked the dead; jumping up and down so hard the beams in he house are still weak; tears were rolling down our eyes at the end of this one. It was voted Fight of the Year for a reason. It was a great fight.

It might make a difference that we saw it live, in context of Duran's career. His total destruction at the hands of Hearns was fresh in our mind and the shame of "No mas" was something we never talked about but was always in our heads. When watching the fight keep that in mind as well as the facts that Duran had beaten Barkley's friend Moore to a pulp, and Barkley was tough as hell.

It all added up to one of the most memorable nights of watching a sporting event in my life.
