Does it really matter, some refs might have called it, that ref didn't. He clearly wasn't hurt regardless, even if it were a genuine KD it doesn't take away from the fact that he had one of the best chins in HW history. Anyone can be knocked down if hit right.

I wouldnt expect a Dane who worships the legendary skills of Tom Bogs and Chris Christensen to understand anything about boxing.

I dont think that Tom Bogs was that bad - He was ranked no. four Middleweight at one time.

At least I did not embarrass myself by writing:" Robbed? Lol. Less that half the fight survives and all of that is edited by the BBC focusing on Charnley best moments. Brown dominated almost the entire fight. Nothing controversial about that decision"

Because you dont have the full fight, it does not mean that it does not exist.

When your record is built on gift decisions in your hometown that the rest of the world cant see its pretty easy to get rated.

As for Brown-Charnley if you wish to believe Charnley was robbed at home be my guest but that wont change the facts nor will it change the fact that I wont be lectured on boxing films by a hobbyist who is constantly mystified by what exists of fighters from his own country filmed during his lifetime much less the rest of the world. Continue on trading youtube caps in blissful ignorance and leave the real collecting to the pros. Or I suppose we could always refer to your own list if youd like to pretend you have it? No? Didnt think so. I guess someone is still stinging that I didnt cave to your extortion attempts all of those years ago. Pathetic.

I have never for a second said that I had Charnley winning that fight. I see it as very close for Brown. Way to close for comfort in England with an English scoring referee. I say it is close, but I have to call the third round a draw, as it is missing in my copy.

By rules if your glove touches the mat, you are down.

the first one is debatable , the second one obviously no kd

if i had to say, id say his glove doesnt touch down in the first but it's hard to tell with that quality

The first one you can argue, the second one..well he didn't go to the floor on that one so its arguable as well but I'd say he didnt go down....

From Wikipedia, Bogs was 53-0-1 to start his career! I think the move down to Middleweight hurt him. Im not saying he'd been a world champion for sure at Light Heavyweight because Bob Foster was the man there but who knows, wait a couple of years to the Victor Galindez era, and he might have been!
