    Not at all, I just find Emile Griffith knocking out iron chinned fighters (which he did) far more of a fluke then Earnie friggin' Shavers knocking out a ultra green Jimmy Young.

    He hates Monzon with a searing passion. Explanation concluded.

    Napoles never wins that fight.

    It's because Young should never have been in with Shavers at that point that made me think of it in a distorted sort of way. Maybe it's not suited to the context of thread, but it was more in the sense of Young going on to become the tough, slick, intelligent fighter that he did that made me think of Shavers having little chance of repeating the result regardless of how hard he could dust.

    I mentioned Griffith-Carter because of Carter catching a teak-tough, clearly superior fighter cold in the 1st.

    Randy Turpin was tough, strong and brave if not quite possessed of Hagleresque resilience and yet the light-hitting Mitri nearly knocked him colder than week-old custard in about a minute.

    Disagree. Any Duran is going to have problems with those guys. Not even close to "1 in 100" losses. Quite the opposite, in fact. He would lose to them more often than not--70-30ish.

    Why ? Castro won the rematch also.
    Maskaev-Rahman is a repeated/duplicated fluke.

    And I disagree about the Kalambay example as he was down as soon as against Kalule . Why wouldn't a big and rangy MW like Nunn won't be able to land something well leveraged from a reasonable distance ?

    I've heard the rematch was a bit of a gift.

    Also, both Reggie Johnson fights were supposedly pretty iffy. :huh

    Castro certainly got the benefit of the doubt in Argentina more then once.

    :lol:.It was the 12th with almost the last punch of the fight when kalambay took a count against kalule, from what looked to be a slip.Real comparable to being blitzed in the first round.

    I watched both Reggie Johnson fights and they were really close , unless u r compubox , but then consider power punches more than total punches , not that this will b enough to judge who did the bigger damage.

    I used it as an example of Kalambay's ability to get hurt.

    Except it was a slip/balance knockdown in the 12th round, being compared to a clean knockout in the first.Christ man.

    And the Reggie Johnson fights were both ruled SDs. The Jackson fight a UD , although close , and it included 2 knockdowns in separate rounds , still was ruled close . Do you want Castro to get robbed in Argentina ?
