    Hatton was in some wars but it didn't seem like it had taken a foothold. But the way he stiffened and folded against Pac suggested some real cerebral issue. That was my take on it anyway.

    I agree. Prime McGregor would have schooled him!

    I thought silverking's Honeyghan - Breland had nailed it but then you come up with Fenech - Nelson II. The perfect answer to the thread.

    Anyone having Curry - Honeyghan?

    Bowe was NOT SHOT for Golota 1
    He was somewhat damaged and drained coming into Golota 2, you could start to see it in his lack of balance.

    He was finished afterwards.

    I agree. He was not shot in the first fight he was just overweight which he was a lot. Then in rematch he overtrained and looked much worse.

    Curry wasn’t shot. Maybe just weaken from making the weight.Would have benefited huge from today’s 24 hours weigh ins but after the beating he got from Honeyghan, it’s seems that the only things that may have been shot about him was his confidence and his aura of invincibility.

    Curry was not shot vs Honeyghan. He went on to fight competitively vs McCallum and he won a LMW title against Gianfranco Rosi.

    My thoughts exactly. It’s hard to recover from a defeat like the one Honeyghan delivered.

    Erickson Lubin is the new Curry. He will never be the same after the Charlo highlight reel KO.

    Pretty odd comparison. Lubin was hardly some kind of exceptional amateur talent before he turned pro... or even exceptional once he did turn pro.

    Lubin was a favorite to be an Olympian in 2016. However, you’re right, he was not on Curry’s level.

    I was just pointing out that he will never psychologically recover from the Charlo fight, same as Curry with the Honeyghan fight.

    Saad vs Qwai , 1 and then double in 2 .. I remember thinking the rematch was gonna be a war and it was a blowout ..

    Holyfield vs Toney .. to see Evander Holyfield beaten up and stopped by Toney was painful.

    Mancini vs Haugen

    Leonard vs Camacho

    Jones vs Johnson

    Tate vs Berbick

    Tyson vs Danny Williams
