That bird Bridges beat yesterday I’m sure comms said she’s never knocked any one out and had 26 wins with 5 world title defences.
Even for women… that’s going some.

Yes, Marsh was a cut above from a very young age. He won three ABA titles in a canter and should have gone to the Moscow Olympics in 1980 but the selectors ordered a box-off between him and Liverpool banger Joey Frost, and Marsh, who hates authority, told the selectors to stick it. He had outscored Frost on the way to the 1980 ABA welterweight title.ShadrachSimmo wrote: ↑28 Mar 2022, 08:13Robert Cooper. He was in the navy while Marsh was a marine.

Bit of a character Marsh being a Chess boxing champion too. He’s certainly led an interesting life.

Re: lightest hitting world class fighters
who was the last world class fighter to be lighter hitting than sunneh edwards?
Re: lightest hitting world class fighters
Not world class but good. David Brophy was a big bloke but light hitting. Bizarrely he stopped that Aussie ex Ibo champ Zac Dunn who was a bit of a banger so maybe he could punch. 2 kos from 24 wins I think. I reckon he could probably dig more than records showed in honesty. Anyone know if he's still going?

Retired. Looks like he’s a PT now, judging by his Instagram.wrighty wrote: ↑16 Dec 2022, 15:45 Not world class but good. David Brophy was a big bloke but light hitting.

Sven Ottke, although he did manage to KO Anthony Mundine who was up on the cards I believe
Re: lightest hitting world class fighters
Great call, especially as the Mundine KO was such a strange anomaly.Phenomenal-Nutrition wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 09:55 Sven Ottke, although he did manage to KO Anthony Mundine who was up on the cards I believe

Mundine was well behind on the cards, but he was doing well none the less.Phenomenal-Nutrition wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 09:55 Sven Ottke, although he did manage to KO Anthony Mundine who was up on the cards I believe
Manuel Medina is a good one.

Ah good old Manny Medina. I was a fan when he was coming over doing his thing. Herky Herky style and just looking like a rough and tough mexican. Value for money was Medina.polecateddy wrote: ↑23 Dec 2022, 18:41Mundine was well behind on the cards, but he was doing well none the less.Phenomenal-Nutrition wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 09:55 Sven Ottke, although he did manage to KO Anthony Mundine who was up on the cards I believe

rosi was goofy as hell, very awkward fighter, but as darrin van horn learned he could be effective
