    For example Margarito-Martinez

    Bowe-Lewis too, whilst it was a high profile event it's not like they were household names at the time.

    Any good ones?

    Harold Green who more than held his own with young vicious Rocky Graziano flattening
    a young prospect Joey Giardello,with one left hook in 1950..Seeing that bout and ending, i never even imagined that years later Giardello would be middleweight champioin.
    Go figure.....
