You don't think a welterweight conceding 8 lbs to a middleweight is significant ? FYI the light middle weight class was established in1962.Papp fought Christenson in 1962 and 1964. Papp turned pro in May 1957 and he weighed 158.5lbs.He was a full fledged middleweight his entire pro career and he never scaled less than157,25lbs during it! You really are a nonsense!
No, no, no - just no! I created the thread - it's about professionals only, like 50,000 of the other threads in classic. You know this so stop playing dumb. If the thread was about amateurs it would need to say it in the title because 99% of the threads in classic are about professional boxers. Hence it is utterly redundant to mention 'professionals' in the thread title. Stop trolling and get the **** out of this thread.
Never fought for the world title but could there be a case for kevin finnegan? Purely on the reasoning he gave the marvelous one 2 great arguments
It’s actually a great shout, although he never fought for the title he fought other contenders, beating some, losing to others. He also gave Minter hell in 3 fights, beat Sibson and was prepared to go out of his comfort zone and fight in the other guys backyard. Overall he was the definition of a true contender, this should be explained to a certain other “contributer” on this thread.
DURING HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER PAPP WAS EXCLUSIVELY A MIDDLE WEIGHT HE NEVER SCALED LESS THAN 157.25LBs. THE REPORT I POSTED WAS FROM A DANISH NEWSPAPER. CHRISTENSON WAS DANISH FIGHTING IN COPENHAGEN McCORMACK HAD FLOORED CHRISTENSON AND WAS LEADING ON POINTS. WAKE UP! NOBODY EVER AGREES WITH YOU! THAT SHOULD TELL EVEN A THICKO LIKE YOU SOMETHING!
I think you may have posted this in the wrong thread. Although, to be honest, your comment makes no less sense than anything Ra’s Al-Ghul has posted so far!
