    Jeff Horn Vs Pacquiao

    Former eight weight division champions tend to be stylistic nightmares to school teachers.

    Ali defeating Ken Norton twice, after losing their first encounter. Although you could argue he lost all three fights.

    Joseph Parker beating Hughie Fury.

    A taller guy with a long reach, lots of movement and extremely negative meant someone who was not committed to engaging to anything other than single counters and one/two jabs at a time and then hugging or trying to roll out of the ring makes it very difficult for a shorter reach combination puncher to get their best work involved.

    Winning by points seemed very unlikely, and while the wide scorecards have put another bit of a stain on recent boxing - the outcome itself was correct and proved a much better "uphill" win than many give credit for.
