    Danny "Grinning" Greeny shocked the sporting world when he beat Danny Santiago who was a HUGE household name in the USA. It simply doesn't get any bigger than that. Grinning Greeny had a HOF career and was an outstanding human being who would never verbally assault a hard working registered nurse at Busselton hospital in Western Australia.

    Steve Chago had a win in Timor. The worst thing he did was leave trainer Victor Bray. He should have stayed with him.

    People used to talk up one of his amateur opponents " ohhhh Milos fought Danny Green in the amateurs " yeah he did. And he got knocked the **** out. Early. He's now serving jail time for slicing a cops head open with a ninja sword.

    Gave him the title in 2022. Only 31 years too late. Ruined his career.

    He was such an amazing boxer that had brittle hands and a style that was destined for it to cause him to crash all at once.

    While Fenech was robbed against Nelson 1, he's only got himself to blame for even letting it go to the judges. Pretty sure he admitted to overtraining in the desert heat just to bignote how fit he was to a few Americans.

    And let's not forget he had a rematch on his home soil and what happened there.

    Geoffrey " Marrickville Mauler" French can't really complain about getting robbed against Azumah Nelson because he himself robbed hard working jewellers of expensive time pieces. Geoffrey would rightly be called a hypocrite if he complained about getting robbed.

    I used to regard Rose vs Harada as it, but I've seen nothing at all like Jai Opetaia fighting with his gob hanging open like a sock puppet. He is one tough count, and Briedis too, the UC Jai put on him in the 4th would have stopped anyone else except maybe Glanton.
    Gotta give it to:
    Briedis vs Opetaia 1

    Not a 'great' fighter overall but Kambos' win over Lopez for the unified and lineal titles was really top class.

    If we go back all the way back in the day Young Griffo had a win over Billy Murphy, and should have a historic win over Jack McAuliffe. He also had a lot of 'draws' and newspaper decisions against top fighters where he was pretty dominant.

    Lionel Rose vs Fighting Harada

    Jeff Fenech vs Azumah Nelson 1 = Yes I consider this a win.

    Jeff Horn vs Manny Pacquiao = I'm one of the few that thinks this was legit I thought Horn roughed him up and won fairly.

    George Kambosos Jr vs Teofimo Lopez

    Kostya Tszyu vs Zab Judah

    Jeff Harding vs Dennis Andries 1

    Jai Opetaia vs Mairis Briedis

    Johnny Famechon vs Fighting Harada 1 & 2
