Greatest wins of Tommy Burns?

Next in the series after Marvin Hart

In three categories
Best win: In terms of quality of opponent, and manner of victory
Most important win: In terms of historical significance
Most spectacular performance: Not really the quality of the win, just a great display of the champion's ability.

Best win: Phiidelphia Jack O'Brien, despite his size, by far the best regarded heavyweight Burns beat
Most important win: Marvin Hart, Hart's title claim was dubious, but it was the begining of Burns's which would become more legitimate with later wins, and I think the Hart win was key in sending him down the path. Also the first time the title changed hands by decision
Most spectacular performance: Bill Squires 1907 July 4, really nice KO

Lol... to think that Squires got two more shots at the title!

 

I completely agree.

I feel as though many look over the fact that he has 2 solid wins over O'Brien in his resume

 

Squires dropped Burns at least once in their series.

 

Burns had 3 fights with O Brien,the 1st he lost, the 2nd was a draw,and he won the 3rd.

 

Woops, my memory doesn't serve today apparently lol

 

We all have our lapses!

 

Agree with BitPlayerVesti except to point out that the Flynn win was also decent.
