Spot on and literal. A good case could be made from anything from both winning inside thirty seconds to the most boring twelve round snore-fest...
A lot of gaps... Particularly in the 'most knockouts' category. Sure Bird was an amazing journeyman with almost impossible stats and indeed does...
Gonzales defeat to Pascua caused a huge stir at the time as a lot of us really brought into Humberto. Sort of ironic as I remember Gonzales...
True, I reckon they were on par with Leonard... In the fifth with Camacho! ;)
As I have mentioned, I had a few junior amateur fights...
The closest it got was in the 1988 ITV boxing review programme, when Arum mentioned it as a fight he thought would happen in 89.
Not really Super fights but High noon in Hong Kong would have been interesting if it had happened: Rueles/Schwer (which was rescheduled: TKO8...

Carlos Monzon was the first that came to mind.

This is all well and good, but what about the Korean sensation Cloth oh Emperor; they get no love!
Seriously though a very solid fighter who could beat almost any 140lber not in form at his best. Probably not in the top ten of 140lbers, but...
