Arguello vs Pryor was described as a fight where a determined great tried to secure a 4th title in as many weights vs a tough champion determined to keep his title Are there any other great examples of these scenarios obviously Arguello failed however these scenarios provide differing results Where the champ succeeded Hopkins denying Trinidad the Undisputed Middleweight crown after he won titles at 147 and 154 David diaz fends off Erik Morales in a tight fight to hang on to his lightweight title Cant think of anymore Where defending champ failed Cotto was an established holder at welter and he could not suceed vs Manny Pacquiao De La Hoya was an established 154 champ and could not deny Floyd from gaining a title at the weight Hagler was the undisputed Middleweight Champ and failed to defend vs Leonard coming up from 147 and 154 Leonard was the 147 pound champion but could not fend off Duran coming up from lightweight Oscar De La Hoya was the champ at 147 but could not fend off Mosley coming up from 135 and finally John Ruiz could not defeat a much smaller Jones Jr who had titles from 160 all the way up minus cruiser Are there any other great examples of great champs facing off with great weight jumpers and succeeding or failing
For some reason the mods have disabled my ability to create threads. Anyway, I wanted to ask....where is the HYPE for Ward vs Abraham? Anyone else excited for that fight?
