This segment features some fun glimpses at ringside of then current champions Saoul Mamby, Mike Weaver and basketball legend Magic Johnson. Also, a very sad one by 'The Brown Bomber' Joe Louis who appears quite frail and died the following day, April 12, 1981 of a heart attack.

Trevor Berbick never showed that h could beat up a lot od fighters. I would have loved to see him against Mike Weaver oder Gerry Coetzee

Holyfield was way past his prime when he battled James Toney. Yes, he was washed up before age 30. No shame indeed. I had Bowe winning all 3 fights.

toney was really washed up and old but still done a prime holyfield over. Bowe was wahsed up at young age and it showed against golata, the same golata that was blown away against brewster, don't get me wrong, brewster would have destroyed this and he only ever really lost to prime WLadimir which is no shame. Anyways just watch the trilogy of Bowe and Holyfield, it mention about the shape they came in, bowe manage to still win 2 out of 3 fight and barely lost 1 which he never trained for.

Yes, he was. Bowe fought very well that night, he was , quite simply, the better fighter that night. And when he lost to Toney, he was way past his prime, but thats no excuse, he should have known that he was through and washed up.

but the real deal was busted by bowe and also busted by a olf fat middleweight

Berbick beat Ali.

BERBICK was 32 when he fought tyson, i dont think 32 is old, 32 is actually prime for a boxer, so tyson wouldve knocked out berbick no matter what age he was

Was this just before Muhammad Ali wiped the floor with Berbick???, why Did Holmes get introduced first... the 'CHAMP' should be last rite???
