The day a pro boxer comes on the scene called Dong Fuk Yu, you know I will be stumping up the cash for a T-shirt!

One of my favorites in my early days of Boxing fandom who is largely forgotten by fans these days is Leonard Dorin. Fun fighter.

Just the mere fact he fought Gatti makes me embarrassed I don't know him.

The Draw with Spadafora was a tremendous fight. Right up there with Jirov vs Toney as one of my favorite fights of 2003. Gatti vs Ward 3 won The Ring Magazine Fight of the Year award that year, but I preferred Dorin vs Spaddy and Toney vs Jirov that year personally.

Gatti/Ward III was a great fight, but not the best in the trilogy, one was, most certainly...two was lopsided but exciting, but I can see Toney/Jirov in the conversation.

I liked Minter. However my most vivid memory is Hagler being pelted with debris after doing away with him.

Carlos Maussa, for having probably the most outrageously crude anti-style of any world champion ever. The look on poor Vivian Harris's face when he realised he hadn't a clue how to deal with the mad bastard will live long in the memory

Is that the fight he hit him when he was more or less flat out?

yep. He got saved from a DQ, amazingly, mostly cos his punch caught more rope than head. Nutter.

I remember back in 1975, the return of Friday Night Fights. I saw a lanky raw Mike Rossman take out Mike Nixon with a gorgeous overhand right. LIked to watch Rossman from then on out. Although he was no more than a middleweight at the time, Mike made a nice career at Light Heavyweight.
