[Dioufy]

Martin Rogan
Michael Katsidis
Antonio Margarito

Just my opinion.

Go/

[THEBUTCH]

Gabe Ruelas, Arturo Gatti to name just two.

[dondada]

Vinnie Pazienza is another.

[Old bones Ian]

Vinnie Pazienza is another.

Think he had a touch of the Ivan Drago about him as well

[mike john]

the underdog factor aside, ricky hatton has had some pretty nasty cuts to fight through

That's why his fight against Maussa is under-rated. Two nasty cuts over both eyes, and that was only at the end of round one.

Good call.

Yeah, you're probably right, but that initial cut in the first was horrific, and the cuts against Thaxton were bad.

[alexpaterson]

Micky Ward was a bit Rocky like

[Old bones Ian]

Mr Carl Thompson , has anyone had more Rocky moments than him?

[rhino222]

Carl Thompson is a fantastic call, people have forgotten about carl since he retired, shit, that punch he levelled rothman with was awesome...

I agree, I have a lot of his fights too. I often watch Gatti-Ruelas which is probably my favourite out of his fights.

[Hagler2002]

Rocky Railton, a true legend up norf in the spit & sawdust gyms

[Deadendgeneration]

Gatti but only because he has the 2 wins him and Ward it's take your pick.

[King Tubby]

Milton.

[oliverfennell]

Danny Williams beating Mark Potter with one arm... as the commentary said: "If someone wrote this into a Hollywood script, you'd say it was too far-fetched"

[THEBUTCH]

Audley Harrison.....straight up!
