    Absolutely amazing fight.

    DLH/Tito was another. You would never think from watching it these two doing their chessmatch that they were the 2 of the biggest hitters at that era.

    Can a brother get an amen on this?

    Y'all must've forgot - each was regarded as hands-down the heaviest hitter in his division, and the two were considered to be among the most feared punchers in not only their weight range, but in all of the sport. Before they ran into a pair of very sturdy warriors (in each other) these guys were threats to KO absolutely anybody and everybody.

    That makes the punishment they cumulatively dished out and absorbed over their trilogy all the more impressive.

    Don't think exclusively heavyweights when you think power, folks. :nono

    Curry - McCrory , at the time they fought both had very high knock out rates and were both undefeated.

    Holmes had respectable power. He hit hard enough, but wasn't a monster hitter.
