    Nah, I don't consider his fight with Norton, Weaver, Shavers, Snipes and Witherspoon boring. Ferguson, Mercer, Holyfield and Williams fight were great as well

    I'm actually been working on a list of the greatest crowd pleasers of all time now. It's been like 2 month since I've been doing research and I've got like 9 out of 10 people. I really want talk about my list but it'll be a spoiler for my long article I'm gonna write as soon as I finished it.

    If I had to add another guy, just off the top of my head I'd say a list would like quite funny and irregular without Lil Red Lopez. He made his career off being too entertaining for his own good I think, I am a little ashamed to have not had him on my list. GGG has he been mentioned? He always brings it and he's still unravelling as a boxer before us. Now for unconventional picks just to add some new blood Alberto "Baby" Arizmendi he looked like a guy who would have you cheering quickly, seated and quiet. Watching him negotiate with Henry Armstrong chin to chin really is awesome. Another, Inoue similar to GGG but better for your money these days and maybe always- if you ask me.

    I joked back in the day that Salvador Sanchez had Little Red scouted because he was careful not to knock Danny down … because when you did that he bounced back up and knocked you out, haha.

    He was a rough rider! I think I’m going to watch a fight or maybe two of his today. I love him, real brute of a fighter. As you say he got up with real dog aggression!

    I imagine after a while some of his opponents when they scored an early knockdown were like ‘oh my lord what did I just do?’

    I don’t know how many video games you play but it reminds me of when you think you beat a boss battle and suddenly a second health bar appears and there’s a sudden difficulty spike lol.
