And Salvador Sanchez...right?

Zora Folley - who beat Oscar Bonavena, Bob Foster, George Chuvalo, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen, Henry Cooper, Nino Valdez and Bob Cleroux.

And gave Ali a pretty good fight.

(No)

You are being.. sarcastic right?

He'd never beaten Holmes or Holyfield. Tyson is a possibility because he dropped him in that Tokyo sparring session, but a very remote one at best.

What your picks?

Pretty much the same

That's one of the fights on my list to watch. I remember watching it at the time on terrestrial channel ITV in the UK, I think they showed it on World of Sport a week later. Jim Watt was co-commentating and suggested that they could've held the fight in a phone box. Chavez dominated... This fight w...

- Thankyou, Antonio. Had forgotten what a slugfest Chavez/Rosario was, a slow melting beatdown. Steele's bald spot kept distracting me, but he also did a great job. As to Toney/Barkley, don't know what you boys are exulting when Iran had won a light hvy title vs Hearns he never defends to drop down...

why do we save words like beautiful, lovely, tidy, art form, etc boxing to describe a guy moving backwards

but a guy who wins moving forward is not seen in the same way?

I don't know...but to me personally, Macho Camacho was the first one I saw who did it like an artist.

How about this guy?: Ernie Schaaf

A solid heavyweight contender, but I would still have Quarry, Folley and Machen before him.

Jerry Quarry is great choice.

Any objections against Quarry at #37?

He gave everyone and their mother everything they could handle!!

If by giving Duran all he could handle you mean he ran all night trying to avoid getting knocked out then yeah, sure. If Viruet, who never won an important fight, is a “great” non champion then the bar for greatness is sadly low. Again, I wonder how'd he'd done versus the Mamby's and Haley's of the...

You've never heard of Sirimongkol Singwancha?

Slightly off topic but not so much so...

Id assume at 50 bucks per 200k sales minus sat fees is 5mm revenue. Id assume that would take care or purses and costs with a small profit I think it does much less than that You think they’d get as much as 200k? Has it been promoted heavily in the US? I’ve seen very little promotion for it on main...

just remember when talking about first rounds kos etc.....alex dimmy lasted 5 full rounds and couldve easily done more if he wasnt such a heartless quitter in journeyman mode. i really believe that andy is hugely flattered by the aj fight Im not a ruiz guy i think chris is shot and shouldn't be fig...

I think this fight being on PPV sucks. It's an ESPN fight. I'd watch if it was free.

Edwin Viruet was a great non-champion as well.....gave Duran all he could handle...could have probably been a WBC world champ at Junior Welter during the Mamby-Haley-Curry era..

Another guy who was severely hurt by a loss.

Eerily similar to Vonda Ward (KOby1 Anne Wolfe, her lone loss)
