I'd say the sharkey fight - after Dempsey's first loss to tunney he needed a really good win and destroyed sharkey in his inimitable manner to set up another tilt at his arch foe.
a pro for over 20 years, but what was bobo Olsen's greatest hour?

Tough, between Gavilan and Turpin. I'm going with Randy Turpin.
the night he beat greb on points in my view, although he must have been happy with the draw against the whirlwind a bit later - underrated fighter loughran.
Rubin Carter's finest hour has got to be when he KO'd Emile Griffith in 1 round. Considering that Griffith was only stopped one other time in his career in 14 rounds against the Legendary Middleweight Champion Carlos Monzon, that is one hell of a great victory.

Gus Lesnevich although he got great credit for his performance against Joe Louis.
It is a good win, but I wouldn't say his greatest or greatest hour. I'm not sure who I'd have as an answer, but I don't Lujan would be it. And I've never watched Duke McKenzie so I am of no service on that
That's a honest answer and if you look through Eusebio's record it's not full of top level hard contenders; Lujan is my honest answer to the question with Lockridge a close second.
You ought to have a look at Duke McKenzie - that man could box and fight.
