Wasn't butler the guy that Lewis beat on his comeback after mccall? Seem to recall Lewis dumping him in the fifth. Sure it's the same fighter.
Lamon Brewster said Butler was the hardest puncher he ever boxed with, his power was insane. Only coke held him back apparently. Lewis soaked up a big right hand from him in the opening seconds extremely impressively.
A fight between two of the best unbeaten fighters in the world at that time and which did live up to the pre-fight expectations, what bothered you about it? Was it the way it ended?
I believe that was June of `95 in Sacramento. I remember seeing Lewis`s entourage walk passed me after that fight.
Quite a few, starting with R.Leonard, one of my favorite fighters, but the multiple retirements cheated the fans of great fights that shouldve been, like a rematch with Hearns or Duran in 81, 82, or 83, a match up with Curry, Hagler, around 83 or 84, A Pryor . And speaking about Pryor, drug free, the fights he could've had. Hector Camacho sr . Taged one good time went from me thinking he could be the GOAT, too a timid runner. John Mugabi, never the same after Hagler . Tyson, getting involved with D.King. Boxing in it's entirety since 2000.
When Pinklon Thomas lost to Trevor Berbick, the wind left my sails. I had expected great things for Pink.
I agree with u on so many issues the there. Especially the boxing since 2000. Though I it was just me that felt that way lol.
Durin against Gotti I expected a great war. Fenech Nelson 2 Tszyu forgetting how to slip a rt hand against Phillips These come to mind rt off the bat
