    What is everybody's favorite fights of Mike after losing the title to Dokes? I like the Dokes rematch and his fights with Pinklon Thomas and Carl Williams were fantastic imo.

    Pritchard. Bert Cooper. Duplooy 2. some others he sure did not look too good in--like Holmes 2. Smith 2. Lewis.

    Interesting. I never have seen the Pritchard and Cooper fights. Smith 2 and Lewis certainly were terrible fights, and so was Ruddock. I have often wondered about the Philip Brown fight and how good it was.

    Weaver was really on the downslide after about '85, so you won't find that many. DuPlooy I is worth a look, a past-it Weaver coming back after a slow start to stop a previously unbeaten opponent. The other one that sticks in my mind is Tony Anthony, if only for the astonishing sight of Anthony assaulting Weaver as he was walking back to his corner.

    Ya, I didn't figure there were any after 86, I just thought I'd get a few opinions.

    Brown was a terrible fight. Hardly an optimal opponent matchup. Along the lines of Smith 2.

    uhhhh! That's enough to convince me. Smith 2 was awful. Actually, Smith was in a lot of those pillow fights.
