    Bradley against Witter

    Pac against Ledwaba, pretty sure Pac was meant to be a tune-up

    Toney against Nunn

    Don't know if you'd call him big time but Carl Thompson versus Nicky Piper springs to mind, the CAT was just meant to be a tune-up for that one.

    Hardly 'big' bigtime, but Rogan against parcel-force is the one that springs to my mind straight away.

    A good thread, though it's a bit early to say Bradley will reach the big time, though he is on the road.

    Tarver ko2 Jones Jr?

    Bowe W12 Holyfield

    Lewis Ko2 Ruddock

    Ali tko8 Liston!

    Unfortunately that is where it started and ended for Douglas.
