His Greatest Hour?
Re: His Greatest Hour?
Either his 2 KO wins over Chacon or his KO 2 victory over Jose Luis Ramirez who would go on to be a Lightweight Champion, and split a pair of bouts with Edwin Rosario, as well as Pernell Whitaker (though his victory over Whitaker was highly questionable)

L SD12 Evander Holyfield, he pushed one the greatest 190lbs fighters all the way. I love Qawi.

Re: His Greatest Hour?
Ray Mercer's greatest moment has got to be the KO of Tommy Morrison I would think, it's definitely one of his better wins, and the fact that it's one of the most brutal KO's of all time is definitely noteworthy.tiny_acres wrote:

Beating the still very good Barney Ross for the welter crown is a fantastic achievement.

Re: His Greatest Hour?
Zarate's greatest moment has to be his KO 4 victory over Alfonso Zamora who was 29-0 with all 29 wins coming by KO coming into their fight.

EDIT: Ninja'd you bastard!
Ahem. Right:
Rosario's KO of Bramble stands out for me. No-one else did that to Bramble until Livingstone was about a 1000 years old.
Jose Luis Lopez.

What a magnificent old warhorse that fella was.
Stopping Kevin Pompey in the rematch.
Humberto Chiquita Gonzalez.
Re: His Greatest Hour?
With Gonzalez I guess you'd have to say either his 2nd or 3rd fights with Carbajal was his finest hour. I never saw those fights honestly, but I assume they were some of his greatest victories. The first fight was epic, and a credit to both guys for it being so awesome.Datsue wrote:![]()
