Who held it late? No heavyweights

Betulio Gonzalez, especially in his third reign. Used it to knock out Martin Vargas and Shoji Oguma (the latter in fan-yourself-hot conditions) late, and came on strong in the last five rounds against Espadas and against Oguma in the draw. Technique and power held, and workrate actually improved. In both of the knockout wins he looked like he was consciously pacing himself. This wouldn't have worked without his chin, though, because in both cases "pacing himself" meant eating a lot of punches.

 

Look at the size of that giant airscooper of a nose.

Charles wasn't showing Power, technique or workrate in round 15 against Marciano, he was showing a desire to survive at the very least

 

Please contribute more often. Great post.

 

Shhh I just doing a Morlocks and showing appreciation

 

No one has said the needed name...

Lupe Pintor

 

Yes, I have trouble understanding what issue McGrain was intending to raise with this thread.

 

Plenty of good ones named so far.

I'll throw McCallum, Whitaker, Jofre, Ross, SRR at 147, Gavilan, Griffith, Canto, Basilio, Jones, and Pedroza into the pot to keep things rolling.

 

Hopkins and Duran come to mind. Major recency bias but Donaire looked great coming back to 118, lower level to ATGs but just a thought!

 

Do you know anything more about Charles' opponent here?

Asking for a friend.

 

Only a little bit, I'm new to this whole "boxing" thing

Pretty sure he had a good 3 fight series with Zale

 

I'm pretty sure he was single? If you're into that sorta thing...
