Laszlo Papp's Greatest Victory As A Pro?

Italian Stallion · Sep 7, 2020

In the end he went undefeated with six defenses of the European middleweight crown...who did his best pro win come against: Christensen, Leahy, Ralph Jones, Randy Sandy, other?

I'm guessing Jones although I dont know where Jones stood at that point

There's nobody on his resume that rings my bell, Euro level guys.
Jones was 34 having his last fight and had won1 of his last4 fights, against a journeyman.

So then you wouldn't call Jones his best pro win or would you indeed?

No, he never had a "great win," so its slim pickings whomever you choose.

Mick Leahy was a tough handful for any Middleweight.

Well he won three times against Peter Müller, who won two times out of three vs. Joey Giardello. Luis Folledo had also a pretty good record and continued it successful, as he was later a challenger of Benvenuti among others.

But Ralph Jones had not only wins over Robinson, Giardello and Gavilán, but he also won two fights before he faced Papp against an in 20 fights undefeated contender and was only once stopped in his career, which was in his first year as prize boxer.

Jones was 34 having his last fight and he had won just 1 of his last 4 fights.

So in your opinion Papp's best win is Jones then?

Maybe Torres, Petrykowsky or Webb.

But from the other Christensen is pretty good too, who might be pound for pound around top 5 of Denmark. He was ranked around the top 10 at the time of their first fight and there existed just one European champion in Middleweight.

So collected is his record really good and he didn't need gifts as Giardello (even with his journeyman-record) or Toney.

So as far as only his professional career goes, if you had to pick Laszlo's #1 victory what would it be OR is it too hard to say for sure? If you can't pick for sure, no problem, I respect that. Thanks for your time!

Well I would think it is rather the collected record (and he defeated some successors of Giardello, which shows even past his best was he on a superior level than whom); Christensen might it be from the rankings of that time and pound for pound, on the other hand was it Jones rather in the all time Middleweight rating. But he had two over the first, these are together probably more than one vs. the last.

But really are the three first named boxers most likely better wins than any as prize boxer, as these were (each) during the Olympic Games. At that time were the American boxers rather dominant than of any socialistic state (with Sands, Patterson, Rademacher among others as gold medalist), so his three championships in row are even more impressive, as he broke a gap into the western reign and he's from a rather small country with not a lot competition there at world level when. and he still inflitrated himself through the competitors of the big boxing nations (which is more outstanding than of Stevenson or Savon).

VICTORY AS A PRO!
Here you go again introducing amateur bouts into the discussion for which reason your list of the greats in the all time poll was thrown out by Rumsfeld,you'll never learn!
The reason you do this of course is because Papp does not have any great wins as a pro!lol

I think Jones is prob. Papp's most noteworthy win, which doesn't mean great win.
