Didnt watch the video but for me his top 5 wins for different reasons are 1. Duran we all know why 2. Roldan huge night where he became 4 weight champ 3. Shuler excellent win despite his heavy loss to hagley came back with this performance 4. Hill up at light heavyweight and outjabbed a very talented light heavyweight 5. Cuevas amazing knockout over an e cellent welter
Harada would be cool- Emile Griffith or an obvious one Sugar Ray Robinson? Love your work I’m a long time fan, I’d appreciate it if you had a paetron where our names for a fee could appear in the credits.
Great stuff. One thing i will add is that tho ruled a knockdown replays showed Benitez stood on Hearns foot when he went down and it was incorrectly ruled. Excellent watch tho Rummy.
Yeah, Harada's an awesome mention. Some brilliant choices there, with enough footage to show them all. I feel like Hearns' standing would go up quite a bit if he got the decisions vs Barkley and Leonard in the rematches. Having official wins over two of the guys who beat him in his prime is pretty big, plus both would obviously be known as two of his best wins. I know the manner of the Duran fight is impressive, but I really don't know why you'd pick Duran over Benitez. Benitez pitched a shut out over Duran - proving he was way better at 154 - and Hearns beat him while injured (and he was actually injured going into in the fight, as well as reinjuring it mid-fight). For me, Hearns' top five wins go like this: #1. Wilfred Benitez #2. Virgil Hill #3. Roberto Duran #4. Pipino Cuevas #5. Dennis Andries
It is great stuff here JT .. Too well done to let slip , I had to watch it again .. Hope others comment on it as well
Will keep those both in mind. I have a "short list" of fighters I plan to feature in the Top 5 Notable Wins series, and right now it runs 4-5 deep. I'll definitely keep Harada and Griffith in mind going forward. As for Robinson, I was planning to do something on him in late December last year, but I got sidetracked. At some point I will do something on him, although it may or may not be a Top 5. I've been going back and forth on that, whether to do a Top 5 or something more in depth. Thanks for the suggestions.
I think a case could be made for Emile and SRR could have a top 10 series due to the immense number of quality wins they have, the same can be said of Ezzard Charles. Thanks for listening!
