Some great mentions. I'll add Benitez-Hope Jones-Hill Patterson-Johansson II
Not really a bust, but Mike Tyson sort of didn't fulfill his potential at the amateur level. He won some important bouts, first got noticed, and...
He was holding at around #9 in Ring's rankings for several months following Lewis and Etienne. He slipped out a few months before the Danny...
FWIW, from what I understand Merritt never knocked Terrell down. 1952 Marciano takes this one. 1960 Williams was 3-1. 3 victories against...
Yeah, Evangelista was put in fairly deep, at least at a European level, right off the bat. He fought Alberto Lovell in his second fight, Neville...
It was a time between eras, in a way. Foreman was retired, Frazier was retired, Quarry was retired, Bobick was exposed, Howard Smith was exposed,...

I have to disagree on Ali with Spinks II. At the time Spinks' win wasn't really thought of as a fluke, but it was thought that Ali took him...
Marvis Frazier vs. George Foreman, circa 1989... there's an interesting bout. I wonder, with all the laughing about Foreman's comeback, if Marvis...
I wonder if they'd met again in 1976 or 1977 if the result would be different? Because now we're talking about a Lyle who lost to Foreman and...
If I recall correctly, Stewart wasn't really regarded as much going into the Holyfield fight. His record was seen as inflated with easy fights....
Evander Holyfield was written off by many after losing to Michael Moorer and getting the "bad heart" diagnosis. His year off after that seemed to...
Is anyone else just getting the code and not the image? It's a cool pic of Jack Johnson and Joe Louis. Thanks mcvey!
Actually, I tend to think that Berbick is overrated. Kind of. Going into the John Tate fight, Berbick looked like a very safe choice for Tate to...
I was doing one of my periodic searches on YouTube for the Stan Ward - Jeff Merritt bout, which was on the Foreman-LeDoux card and apparently...
