Sumbu Kalamby is a fight I often hear as being a fluke, a result that wouldn't be duplicated if they fought a hundred times. What other fights were similar, ending in a fashion that would almost never repeat itself? I think Bobick/Norton was a bit of a fluke. Bobick came in bone dry and was caught with a massive punch. People also forgot he was punched so hard in the throat during a flurry that he could barely talk in a dressing room interview. He was croaking like a frog.
Quarry v Chuvalo ko 7rds Ike Williams being stopped by Sammy Angott in 6rds. Joey Maxim being kod in 1rd by Curtess Sheppard. Ted Kid Lewis being kod by Carpentier in 1 rd.
Norton is going to handle Bobick every time. Duane was a pressure fighter that did everything on the inside with a leaky defense. He'd have to walk through norton's punches to do it and he just doesn't have the whiskers to absorb rounds like that. He's going to get hit with a looping right hand on the temple at some point and it'll be just like the Knoetze outcome. Once Duane got shook those legs of his abandon him & he sure got the clumsies. Same thing happened in the Tate fight.
Robinson-Fullmer. I know it's Sugar Ray were talking about but Fullmer was a very,very,very tough and durable man and I don't see him being stopped with a single shot like that ever again.
Young-Shavers Griffith-Carter Good shout above for Robinson-Fullmer Nelson-Cowdell I always thought that Benvenuti-Rodriguez would have never ended as it did again over any number of rematches.
Don't really agree with the Shavers fight at all. The hardest Heavyweight hitters of all time are always going to have the sporadic, but hardly rare starching of a better opponent.
