    I don´t think it was significant. It was Schmeling´s last bout at lhw, he wasn´t a hw then.

    Daniels was a good fighter though and has some good names on his resume.

    Yes, I just thought I'd throw in the mix. One of those results that looks better in hindsight than it would of been at the time.

    Yep, Daniels beat a few European quality fighters then and lost to even more. If you have a few more information about Daniels feel free to share them :good

    Well...Fitzsimmons over Corbett and Lewis over Briggs gave the British two linear heavyweight champions of the world. It doesn't get much more historic than that!

    Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones were pretty historic when Joe Calzaghe beat them.

    That or the Lewis - Holyfield draw.

    I wouldn't consider Laing over Duran a historic win as he did little after it, whereas Lewis went to define himself as an ATG, with that Draw/Win as his base.
