    You're right about the low blow being wrong, I'd forgot I knew he exaggerated something but I should have checked, oh well, I'm not perfect, its been awhile since I've seen it, but the KO count is correct.:deal

    Really wish he and Jones would have squared off.... He was good, but I think he gets more than enough credit. Now who's actually very underrated is Steve Collins, he beat Eubank and Benn TWICE and nobody ever talks about him, hell those two are talked about far more than he is.

    You should make a Collins thread.

    The ending of the first Rocky fight was one of the most disgusting/embarrassing things I've seen in a ring.

    Yet people criticised Roy for not taking three belts to Germany.

    Collins was a good fighter. I can't give him much credit for the Benn wins though.

    Against Rocky I, the Tiger put in his best acting performance. That should have been a loss.

    Against Hall, the Tiger should have lost by TKO. he had one eye totally closed. Home Town decision.

    Against Gonzales. The Tiger lost so clearly that it was difficult to gibe him the home town decision.

    Against Griffin. Montell took the fight on short term notice. The usual trick by the Germans.

    Should Michalczewski be put into the Hall of Frame?

    His record was great and he once held three World Championship Belts at 175.
     
  8. Reminds me of Tszyu... Underrated.

    Kovalev cites this guy as one of his heroes. Can see why..

    Great timing, boxing psyche & skill!
     
  9. A lock for it IMO

    Virgil Hill is in!

    I hate the fact that his name is pronounced Mikhail-chef-ski

    It should be Michael Wal Ski

    Makes so much more sense
     
  11. You're just mad cos his chin doesn't shatter in a stiff breeze unlike some..

    I think it should be pronounced Mikel-sZoo-ski:conf I used to hate his name that's why I included the pronunciation.

    How it's pronounced is ridiculous.

    Dariusz was fun to watch. Certainly, he's one of the Greatest World Champions at 175. No doubt about it.
