    Is that aimed at Americans because Europe isn`t a nation it`s a continent comprised of different nations.

    Then that settles it for me, that single win is a better win than 90% of all boxers wins throughout history regardless of weight class.

    Nigel Benn. Although I feel bad when I saw a documentary on the fight he had with Gerard McClellan. So sad...

    I just watched highlights of Nino v Louis R. and he didn`t look to clever in there until he managed to land a good left hook that he didn`t even have to set up to land.
