I've seen a few, yes. 40's and 50's: Marciano vs. Louis. Charles vs. Louis. Charles vs. Walcott 4. Marciano vs. Charles 2. Marciano vs. Walcott 1. Patterson vs. Johansson 1.
What was Walcott like to watch in person? what details do you think we younglings miss out on by only watching what film we have.
Nil - heavyweight Foster - light heavyweight Benvenuti - middleweight Napoles - welterweight Ramos - lightweight Famechon - featherweight Olivares - bantamweight Torres - flyweight
Heavyweight Larry Holmes Light Heavyweight vacant Champions Matthew Saad Muhammad/Eddie Mustafa Muhammad Middleweight Marvin Hagler Welterweight Sugar Ray Leonard Lightweight Roberto Duran Featherweight Salvador Sanchez Bantamweight Jeff Chandler Flyweight Shoji Oguma
It's amazing, that we have people here discussing boxing on the same forum, who were born almost 80 years apart! By the way, I'm wondering... is anyone here younger than George Crowcroft?
Heavy: Holmes LHW: Spinks Middle: Hagler LMW: Hearns Welter: Vacant LWW: Pryor Light: Vacant SFW: Gomez Feather: McGuigan Bantam: Richie Sandoval Fly: Sot Chitalada July 1985... Pales in comparison to some of you all's lists, especially when you consider that Gomez & Pryor were already past it at that point. 1982 was a hell of a year though.
Heavy: Foreman Light Heavy: Foster Middle: Monzon Welter: Napoles Light: Duran Feather: Vacant; Marcel and Jofre giving up their claims Bantam: Soo Hwan Hong Fly: Chartchai Chionoi I was born in a golden era, with all five of the heaviest weights having claimants who were in the debate for the finest in their division of the Queensberry Rules era. Jofre too was in the debate at 126 and Marcel was not so shabby. Bantamweight and Flyweight were in transition, but the Bantams would be bouncing back strong in a matter of months as Zamora and then Zarate rise to the top.
