    Wilfredo Gomez vs. Ivan Samuco
    Wilfredo Gomez cs. Eladio Santana
    Carlos Zarate (53-1, 52 kos) vs John Kohjo Mensah (who was announced as 45-2 but was in reality only 1-4 and this was for a world title!)
    Carlos Zarate (54-1, 53 kos) vs Celso Chairez (debuting)
    Floyd Patterson vs Pete Rademacher
    Luis Estaba vs. Rafael Lovera

    If its size we are talking about, all of Nicolai Valuev's bouts.

    The thing is.every once in a while David does beat Goliath....

    Liston vs Patterson was honestly a tragedy of a fight... very sad way for such a good champion to go out...

    It was, but it was also the right thing to do. *not thinking about Liston's mafia connections which in my mind do devalue his wins if you consider that).

    Patterson wanted to do the right thing and fight Liston. I read on the book "The Ring: Boxing in the 20th Century" that it was Cus D'Amato who kept his golden egg as far from Liston as possible. He would not even handle calls from Liston's management which , when we discuss that fact, might even open another "can of wor..." ehem, I mean,,.topic..

    Loreto Garza vs Frankie Warren,not a complete mismatch,but I never expected the size difference to be that much.

    Most glaring example of a childish idiot getting a hiding from his Pappy is my beloved Joe Savage getting led to the Board of Education by a slightly invested Bert Cooper

    Next on the list has gotta be Kostya Tszyu disciplining a truculent Zan Judah doesn't it?
