    Fenech took mobile fighters such as Coffee and McCrory out into deep water then drowned them. He'd actually beat down Smart very very quickly.

    Looks like we might have a future Fenech fan in the making. He was like a young Duran with a bit less skill.

    ................My favorite Fenech fight was the Villasana match. He broke BOTH his hands in that one, but you'd never know it during the fight, just kept throwing and Villasana (an all-time great chin) just kept taking. I remember seeing Fenech literally sobbing with pain when they cut his gloves off. What a lion.

    Let's just say i'm having another long look.

    "Duran with a BIT less skill" you say? :D

    OK, so which fights represent him at his very best, for you?

    Familiar with the Nelson fight, but i've never seen Callejas or Villasana as nominated by Sal, so i'll look into these two I reckon.

    You're on the record as having Fenech down as having "more physicality and intensity" than lightweight Duran?

    ..............It sounds strange to say, but I'd agree with that statement. That was borne of necessity of course, as Duran could and did often box at a distance. Fenech had no such technical skills, and so his bread and butter was getting on top of his oppoenent and smothering him with an avalanche of punches.

    Oh yes indeed. Fenech was a physical monster. His strength per weight was extraordinary and he put on incredible amounts of weight between the weigh in and actual bout.

    Exactly. I'm glad to have such an esteemed observer agree.
