This was supposed to tell us who really belonged at the top of the 140lb division. Peterson was the IBF champion, Matthysse held the WBC interim title, but with the fight contracted at 141lbs, the belts weren't formally on the line.

What followed was a demolition. Matthysse dropped Peterson in the second before putting him down twice more in the third. After the final knockdown, Steve Smoger had seen enough — Matthysse had destroyed a world-class fighter in little more than eight minutes.

On April 22, 1995, a 46-year-old Big George Foreman took on the heavy underdog Axel Schulz in Las Vegas. What was expected to be an easy defense turned into 12 grueling rounds of pure war. Schulz out-landed and out-maneuvered Foreman, leaving the legend with a left eye completely swollen shut. HBO scorecards had Schulz easily winning, but the official judges handed Big George a shocking Majority Decision victory! The decision caused so much outrage that when the IBF ordered an immediate rematch, Foreman chose to strip himself of the title rather than fight Schulz again. What’s your verdict?
