Just read on another forum (You know the one, bo*rec) and read an interview with our very own Jeff Thomas, interviewing Frank Maloney Frank Maloney's dream historical fight that he'd love to have promoted was, wait for it................. Roberto Duran vs Scott Harrison - At 135 :rofl:rofl WTF is that tea-pot on about :huh Any fight in the world with the chance to have any two fighters in the world and he picked Harrison. Surely Whittaker,Laguna, Canzoneri, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Mosely all would have been far greater matches at 135 against the 'Hands of Stone' - **** even Buchanan Anybody else find that really strange ESPECIALLY considering Harrison never even fought as high as 135
What Dan the ****** has managed to miss here, is the second part of the same very short answer that says: "... or Lennox Lewis against Ali, Forman or Frazier. The one fight that I regret never happened that could of was Paul Ingle against Scott Harrison- that would have been a fabulous fight. The fans would have loved it." Full interview here: http://news.boxrec.com/news/2010/jazzy-jeff-takes-frank-maloney (Am I allowed to post that link or is there a facist mod rule against it?)
If you could put on a fight involving any two fighters in history who would it be? A prime Roberto Duran vs Scott Harrison (at his peak) at lightweight, or Lennox Lewis against Ali, Forman or Frazier. The one fight that I regret never happened that could of was Paul Ingle against Scott Harrison- that would have been a fabulous fight. The fans would have loved it.
I knew thats what the little '******' jibe was about deep down See it doesn't matter what else he said. That was his first answer and it was still a very poor choice IMO
Whatever Maloney said after it, Duran Vs Harrison is one of the alltime worst mismatches. It the kinda fight I'd make if I was trying to get someone killed. Mine would be- Bob Foster Vs Mike Spinks Jung Koo Chang Vs Ricardo Lopez Danny Lopez Vs Naseem Hamed
How can maloney choose that fight ffs! My dream fight could still happen pbf vs pac. I know whole the saga is long in the tooth now, but when the fight gets made the hype will be unrivalled to any fight since since srl v hagler! 2 atg at their peaks plying their trade in front of millions around the world. Cant wait!!!
About Roberto Duran; "they claim he doesn't speak English...but he knows how to ask for a bottle of champagne"
