    Jack Dempsey v Jack Sharkey
    Jung Koo Chang v Sot Chitalada I
    Alfonso Zamora v Eusebio Pedroza

    Vicente Saldivar and Alexis Arguello both beat an array of future champs when they were in the spotlight. Saldivar beat Ismael Laguna, Raul Rojas, Howard Winstone and Jose Legra. Arguello beat Rolando Navarette, Bazooka Limon, Bobby Chacon, Boza Edwards and Boom-Boom Mancini.

    Good subject matter.
