In the case of Hagler, I can't think off hand of a single highlight knockdown or knockout he produced which was not out of the southpaw stance. He...
Andy Ganigan (to me, the southpaw Shavers), Marvin Johnson (handed steel chinned great Galindez his first knockdown), Rolando Navarrete (nobody...
Ultimately, it wasn't a shot to Pastor's chin which ended their match. Billy dropped him for the count with a hook to the body. It seems Conn...

Seconded. Irleis Perez would have been a champion if it wasn't for all those damned allergies of his. (He came close against Jimmy Paul anyway.)...
Surprised Joe Byrd's flock hasn't come up yet. All his kids were winners even his daughter.
Burt, rest assured you're not alone. This was the first, and remains the only internet forum I've ever joined and posted to, and my skills are...
