A fighter that grew more in your estimation...

If you scratch beneath the surface there's a lot to admire about Paulie.

 

Taylor - Chavez
Chisora - Klitschko

 

For me it will have to be Lennox Lewis.

 

Cotto.

 

:deal Gatti, Wlad, Froch, Abril, Lundy, and I guess on a smaller scale Kirkland with abit more boxing, actually trying to setup Angulo for some bombs that impressed me abit instead of every shot being a powershot. Maravilla losing to Margo yrs ago and transforming into the beast his is today is impressive.

 

Agreed!! Cockell took a horrendous beating and really had no business being in there. They just played this on ESPN Classics the other day, always pisses me off when they play fights from the greats that were either pointless walkovers or when they're way past their prime like today they had Holyfield vs Savarese (who ****ing cares!!) it's a disservice to fighters like Holyfield showing them way past it over and over and making the younger kids watching think that's what Holyfield was! Their monthly airing of Leonard vs Hagler always drives me insane. They were playing RJJ vs Tito the other week atschatsch

 

Hello buddy, hope you're well!

Jones at the Olympics was phenomenal.

Ali, Leonard, Jones, DLH.

You will see NOTHING like the talent those had, at this summers American Olympic squad. :verysad

 

going back a bit there.

tommy farr vs joe louis. farr became a legend on that loss alone. he put up a great effort.

 

true.

 

you should count yourself lucky. we don't get that many fights on espn classic.

 

I`m not a fan of his but Barrera became a better fighter after the Junior Jones losses.

 

Yes I know, conducted one of my first interviews with him, great guy.

 

SJS put me onto the doc about Paulie the other night.I'd wanted to see it for years but it reallly was even better than I hoped.Thoroughly enjoyed it.
When did you get to interview Paulie?
Excuse my ignorance but I'm not familiar with your work.
