    Apparently Danny Garcia and Pauliene Malignaggi fought? I genuinely don't remember this ever happening. Only found out again about it because of a YouTube recommendation.

    Chisora Pulev 1- I watch most UK boxing that's live on TV and genuinely don't have any recollection of them fighting before

    I have the opposite problem where I can remember a fight between Wilder and Charles Martin that never happened.

    It does get a bit like that with non descript world challengers.

    For me, I genuinely forgot JMM and Salido fought. Same with Mikey and Salido.

    Why only Salido?? haha

    If I remember rightly, Sky Sports was showing fights from two locations that night. Think the other one might have been Crolla v Barroso

    Strange. I don't remember that fight either. Odd lol.

    I also didn't remember Pulev vs Chisora 1.

    Why not Martin though? If PBC didn't think Wilder could do lefties with some power, why Ortiz?

    By the way, PBC really did Wilder a disservice sending all his pretty record/low threat opponents to AJ but not getting any Wilder any of AJ's aging European also-rans (except Povetkin who pissed the fight away).

    I guess they got paid Wilder back by sending AJ banana peel Ruiz.

    Salido's whole career is in a memory hole for me, too.

    JMM-Bradley honestly stumps me. I had forgotten about it, until remembering how big the hype was around it. IIRC, I think the full fight on YouTube has like 14 million views?

    Michael jennings v cotto is one that I just point blank refuse to believe happened until I see it pop up on TV on rare occasion
