    Are you thinking of LeeRoy Murphy against Chisanda Mutti?

    I don’t think so. Seems like in my vague memory it was smaller guys. And I also don’t have any recollection of ever seeing that fight.

    Closest thing I can think of is Arguello-Ganigan. Both were wobbled and knocked down on different occasions, but not at the same time.

    Hearns-Snyder fits that description, but doesn't fit the time line. Here's that time stamped...

    Perhaps John Meekins v Mohammad Kawoya. It was being stopped just as Kayoya dropped Meekins.

    I remember that one for sure. I want to say Meekins-Kawoya was a good bit later than the one I’m thinking of.

    (And no it’s not Balboa-Creed II, haha.)

    Yeah, not either of those fights but I remember Alexis vs the Hawaiian Punch well. That dude could crack!

    OK, I am pretty sure this was Ali-Holmes, a late night interview by Howard Cosell of ABC Sports. Ali, the smooth talker that he was, was jabbing at Holmes, portraying as a dumb bunny. Holmes got up and slapped him. This might have been the video.

    Ali's reply to Cosell was (I remember clearly)...

    "Why would you want to? You already own all of the buildings."

    Back in the day, 70s I think, there was a computer aided simulation video showing two great champions, past and present, go a full 15 rounds I think. Name the two fighters. I remember the answer, so Trivia time once again

    I watched that fight live on TV, Arguello was known for a wicked straight-right hand that came form no-where.

    Here's one more. Name a heavyweight that fought both Cassius Clay and Muhammad Ali. Without looking at BoxRec

    I remember watching this on the Champions Forever film.
    Made me howl with laughter.
    I think Joe was really steamed up whilst Ali was just messing around.

    That was too easy!
    It even was screened on Closed Circuit, if I remember right.
    Happened in the late 60s: The Greatest vs. The Brockton Blockbuster.
