Yep, ended the 58 rebound. You brought up The 58 to argue Valdes was not declined when Machen beat him, your having the cake and eating it, man.
So...Jones, Folley, Jackson, Valdes...etc were all erratic too.
Harris left his career in the ring with Liston.
And Pastrano beat Johnson as well in the rematch. But you invited me to this game by comparing wins. And ultimately, Pastrano walks away...
Ofcourse you don't, but Pastrano earned The nod over the man who outboxed Jones and Machen. So hard to argue Pastrano as being inferior.

Machen was better but not by much. They both beat the same level fighter, but Machen had more longetvity and beat more. I wouldn't say either...
It apparently wasn't just a draw, it was bad enough showing that writers were saying neither deserved the shot...and again, the problem of Machen...
Valdes by NBA, Holman by RING. Like I said, I don't see either being a monumental win. Pastrano Was rated above Machen for well over a year at...
Valdes was NBA 3, not Ring. Pastrano Was rated above Valdes and Machen by ring until the Harris loss....

He also was out with an injury.
