    Already been mentioned my friend.


    Marciano - Walcott II and Ali - Liston II also apply, although both, especially the latter, had a bad smell to them.



    By the way, i'm not just talking about heavyweight, but any weight. So feel free to fill in those. :good

    Tyson had three alphabet belt. Spinks had the world championship.

    And good job ducking the question...

    How about Benn's destruction of Iran Barkley? KO1, the three KD rule, Barkley had his moments but basically Nigel smashed him all over the ring.

    Any competent ref would have DQd Benn for hitting Barkley when he was down (more than once).

    Right. But are you trying to say it's not a one-sided beathing because Barkley got hit when he was down?

    Barkely got hit while he was down? By whom? The ref? The round card girl?

    I guess that sounds better than saying Benn hit him while he was down (aka the truth).

    I said what I was trying to say.

    Reading IS Fundamental.

    You can't be champion AND #1 contender.

    But you may be right, perhaps he wasn't ranked by the WBO.

    You don't understand the difference between stating the truth and whining?

    What question? Whether or not Tyson dropped his belt in 1996 to avoid the mandatory, Lennox Lewis? Yes he did. And what does that have to do with the situation in 1988?

    I don't consider someone who refuses to fight any top10 opponent and got the title gifted to him in a fight he clearly lost, the champion. Especially not if there's someone else who is destroying every opponent the champion SHOULD be fighting out there, and has collected the belt that the "champion" dropped to avoid a hard fight.
