Most overmatched Heavy Weight World Contender

Over 30 years ago in '76 Richard Dunn fought Ali in Munich for the Heavy Weight Championship and lasted 5 rounds in a fight that was clearly over matched,though kudo's to Dunn who had balls of steel, for putting up a fight & never giving up.Can anyone think of a more one sided fights for the Heavyweight Championships...I can only think of Marvis Frazier against Larry Holmes in the 1st round" mercy" fight when Marvis was pitched in after only 10 fights and was clearly not ready.

 

Danny Williams V Vitali

 

Seldon vs Tyson
Bentt vs Morrison - but he won

Do they have to be challengers, or can they be **** champions vs top (elite) challengers?

Tyson vs Lewis :deal

 

In fairness to Danny he did last 8 rounds and had Tyson's ( albeit well past his sell by) scalp and at least looked a "contender" and would have blown away most of the H W of Richard Dunns era...Bodell ect.....Richard Dunn had the misfortune to challenge one of the greatest H W of all time on that night.
I can even remember seeing BBC Sportsnight that week and the reaction by Richard when he looked in the mirror of his dressing room immediately after the fight...

 

If Williams had come into the fight in shape he would have done much better.

Though still lost.

 

Pete Rademacher fought Patterson for the title in his professional debut.

 

and floored Patterson, although he was down something like 7 times himself.

 

it wasnt for a world title fight but kevin mcneely shoulnt have been let anywere near mike tyson let alone share the same ring as him

 

barely, patterson jabbed and he kinda slipped and got hit and fell to the floor hardly knocked down....casamayor-frietas type knockdown.

patterson handed him differently.


also rademacher was saying he was th ebest fighter in the world....best amatuer-proffesional.

if teo stevenson fought ali in the 70's we would be thinking the same thing. it was an attraction.








i would like to add herbie hide-damon reed
the postfight interview was mad funny. herbie trying to say reed was in his class and that reed was robbed against Brian Neilson:rofl neilson bullied reed by the way. reed was lighter than herbie hide which astounds me

 

Is that Peter McNeeley or Kevin McBride.

Well can't be the latter I suppose 'cos he won, but McNeeley was a ****ing funny fight. The he charged at Tyson, got put down and within a second was back on his feet charging at him again without even taking the ref's 8 count.

 

Peter mcneely.
