When a man fights a boy

Foreman - Frazier

 

I wouldn’t call any professional fighter a “boy” but some mismatches? Many of Wilfredo Gomez’s title defences were against boxers who weren’t ready for that level of work. I see Gene Tunney vs Jack Dempsey as a dominant performance. Carlos Monzon vs Jose Napoles was rough.

 

A literal case of man v boy was Antonio Cervantes against 17-year-old Wilfred Benitez. And the boy won.

 

Danny Garcia vs Rod Salka

 

Moore / Duran - if ever there was.

 

Danny Lopez vs O'Grady? The first two Olivares/Chacon bouts?

 

Calzaghe v Lacey springs to mind.

 

Olivares bearing up Schoolboy Bobby Chacon is a great shout.

eh, let me defend Golota. That KD had slipped a disc in his neck, broken his orbital bone, and given him a concussion. He was way more hurt than he appeared to be, and he knew it.

The real issue was just how his coach handled it. Had his coach just waved it off — like plenty of other guys who have quit on the stool — would not have been a big deal. It was his coach trying to force him back out there that led to the **** show.

 

Bob Foster-Mike Quarry

 

Fury v Wilder 2

 

Nipper Pat Daly against anyone

 

I am going to be controversial...Chavez-Taylor I. I know that on some level, Taylor was "winning," and ahead on judges cards, but the beating he took was horrific, and he never really recovered.
