    One for the wishlist, definitely. :good

    Alexander Miroshnichenko was 21-0 (15) when a debuting Maskaev beat him!

    Five years earlier Miroshnichenko had given Bowe absolute hell at the Olympics. (scoring at the higher connect percentage, though Bowe landed more shots overall, and flooring Bowe twice in the 1st, though such things didn't count for extra points under amateur rules back then)

    This thread really makes me wish Golota-Shuler was out there.

    Whitaker and Tszyu were the two guys who I think looked most like pro's from the second they walked into the ring.

    Within 5 fights, they both looked like complete fighters.

    ...not Tyson or Mayweather? Both hit the ground running IMO.

    They were both excellent but I thought Pea and Kostya looked like they had been boxing for years. They weren't as explosive but they looked so calm, like seasoned professionals.
