I thought Addie's intention was to explore some lesser known fighters and/or fights, but so far, with just a few exceptions, most of the stuff guys posted is quite well known. I'll go with the lesser known/forgotten classics theme. Denny Moyer: Emille Griffith II Benny Paret Robinson II Bronco McKart Winky Wright I Aaron Davis Raul Marquez (I'm listing this because there is a quality copy on You Tube, and this 2008 fight between two old warriors is absolute proof you don't need great fighters to make good fights. You need good match making.)
Oops, I guess on the first read many of us were preoccupied trying to determine what the side dish was on the side of Bjork's head.
i'm a firm believer that a long established champ has to have his title ripped away from him and not stolen.it didn't happen in that fight.leonard probably pipped hagler but the way he left a bad taste. what do you think ??
I think Leonard had no business being competitive with the long reigning Middleweight champion of the world but I had him winning 7 of the 12 rounds. People often point at the Mugabi fight as evidence for Marvin Hagler having significantly slipped.
the ring magazine at the time had that fight at 50/50.i didn't agree, the marvellous one didn't either:twisted:
Lennox Lewis 1. Tommy Morrison Yes, Tommy wasn't all that, he had a massive left hook and a seriously shaky chin.... but Lewis belted him something rotten. Lennox at his absolute best around 1996. 2. Andrew Golota I think at the time Golota was regarded as the new ''Baddest Man on the Planet'', and was wiped out inside a round. 3. Hasim Rahman II The last punch sounded like a bomb going off..... Rahman not being all that is offset by the fact that he sparked Lennox in the first fight.
