Louis vs Marciano.

 

Leonard - Duran III

**** fight though.

 

Nothing spectacular. I guess the 70s were mostly about the heavies? Ali kept pretty busy post Foreman, was having another defence every few months, & sometimes every few weeks, mostly against fairly middling opposition. I was born pretty much halfway between the Foreman win and Spinks loss. In other weight classes, Duran probably hadn't yet done his best work, & someone like Carlos Monzon was probably at the very tail end of his.

 

Every division was great in the 70s.

 

Tyson vs. Douglas and Chavez vs. Taylor 1

 

Fitzsimmons KO14 Corbett took place about 93 years prior to my birth. Eubank TKO9 Benn in November 1990 took place about a month before. More noteworthy that year, Chavez-Taylor, Tyson-Douglas, and Holyfield-Douglas

 

A most auspicious DOB, lad !
