    Think it was the 3rd and 4th fights that gave the series its reputation for dirty fights. The first two were relatively clean I believe - no footage of those though.

    Got Hearns twice, one of only two fighters that defeated Hearns after Hagler.

    It must've been so frustrating fighting Pep. Like trying to hit a annoying gnat or fly that clearly can't hurt you, but could land on you and get away at will.
