    Davey Moore over Wilfred Benitez-even though Davey had the skills to give Wilfred problems, Benitez did make it easy by hurting his leg in the first round.

    I agree with Lewis Tyson myself.

    That win seem to put Lewis on all time great status in the media. But relly it should have been more what Lewis had done in the past, Holyfiled, Grant, Tua ete.

    Teofilo Stevenson vs. Duane Bobick

    Ron Lyle blasted out Bobick in the amateurs earlier,, but that result was kept very quiet
    by the U.S. Amateur Boxing Association.

    I disagree, regardless of the conventional wisdom that always seems to apply with Hopkins being written off as "green". He was clearly already an excellent fighter, just not accomplished.

    Norton-Ali

    Ali was **** in that fight. He was pretty uneven through the entire 70's. Norton had the style to expose his the more quickly deteriorating aspects of his style.

    Ibeabuchi over Tua. Tua is basically a one-trick pony and if he can't impose his strength he's gonna lose. Rahman was built like a brick shithouse so wouldn't be bullied and was schooling Tua until he was hit after the bell and then the ref made a terrible stoppage. Rahman was robbed blind in the rematch where he legitimately knocked down Tua. I'm at a loss to how he lost to Chris Byrd. Surely Byrd was made for him.
