The Best Night of Their Lives Game

Ike Williams

Billy Conn

 

Joe Louis 1

Again Emile Griffith

 

This one is hard. I would say Kid Paret II

Now a good one : Roberto Duran

 

That's easy SRL 1

Bernard Hopkins(this should be easy)

 

Tito Trinidad of course.

Marvin Hagler ?

 

'the war' v hearns in '85.

nigel benn?

 

Well, in the Johnson fight Bernard was at his physical prime no doubt about it.
But his career best night was definitely against a prime young undefeated Tito Trinidad. Plus he was much more masterful with Tito than he was against a non-stop coming forward Johnson.
So, for me, it is Tito :good

 

I gotta go back to Emile Griffith...

I'd pick his second fight against Benvenuti. Nino was bigger, stronger and really gave Emile difficulty in every match.

Griffith had more important wins in his career, but this one was pretty impressive.

Lessee... I'm gonna toss in Carmen Basilio. Should be fun.

 

Nigel Benn would probably be McLellan.

John Ruiz?

 

Robinson I

Jack Dempsey

 

Emile Griffith

Joe Shugrue (let's make this a bit tougher)

 

Tobkhan: Have you ever seen the Griffith fight? I know the crowd roundly booed the decision but both Boxing News and Ring had Dagge winning.

 

Nice pick, but personally, I thought his destruction of Edwin Viruet was awesome.

 

Larry Holmes
