Nakatani's knock out of Moloney.
Absolutely agree on Moore. His 1949-1955 run was 2-3 blemishes away from becoming the Boxing equivalent of the coming of Alexander the Great. Man...
@McGrain What say you ? Aside from Adam Pollack's in the ring series, and Compton and Moyle's Greb and Langford books, what would your...

Ray Lampkin's left leg was temporarily paralyzed after the Duran fight, and was reported to be unconscious for 80 minutes. One report even said...
