Tony "Two Ton" Galenteno. Forget the knockdown, that man shouldn't have been anywhere near the World Title. Though, as mentioned, Johnny Paycheck was ****ing awful.
Olympic Champion and considered, IIRC, one of the best amatuers at all time. It really wasn't the bizzarre choice of fight we now think.
I was baiting..... nobody took it :-( It would be a relatively even fight between those two I think. Back when amateur boxing actually resembled boxing, would probably have been a good selling point I'd imagine. ''World champion vs Olympic champion'' - like those Linford Christie vs Carl Lewis races back in the day.
I just watched that the other day, Radamacher actually did pretty good early on and even floored Patterson, he shouldnt be so chastised he did bloody well for his first fight [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvnpGsZEmNc&feature=related[/ame]
Flea back again with his downplay of anything happening now. Without a doubt M. Frazier is not better than Mormeck...they are both average HEAVYWEIGHT fighters, except Jean was a champion in the cruiserweight division. Mormeck isnt in the top 20, so this fight dosent mean much....
Herbie Hyde v Damon Reed. What a farce! You beat me to it :good Believe it or not a certain Australian heavyweight tried to seduce the 40 years old and wisely retired Damon Reed into a bout just recently atsch
