It's about levels.

You don't think dominating a journeyman is better than struggling to beat a world champion do you?

Hang on, don't bring Mr Fury into it.

To be fair, Belcastro was a decent European champion no journeyman?

I didn't say that he was, but he's no Klitschko.

No, I agree but Belcastro was still a very solid pro though and not a journeyman don't you agree?

Guys, it was just a silly joke, let's not fight about it

Belcastro was a good European champion.

Week 11?

What is the best fight to introduce the highly rated British ATG Naseem Hamed?

The Robinson fight seems like the obvious fight to start off with, but 'everyone's seen it'.

I want to show it anyway. What is a better fight to show?

Maybe the Tom Johnson fight? Was a unification fight and was more competitive than the Robinson fight.

I think Scott Harrison beat Johnson when he was past his best. Tracey Harris Patterson too. The finish that Naz ended the Johnson fight with was chilling. His most entertaining fight is probably the Kevin Kelly fight or the masterclass against Jose Badillo.

Harrison beat Robinson too I'm sure? Again when he was past his best.

The Kelly fight was immense, I still remember jumping around my living room as a teenager at 5am while that was going down.

Again though, I'd have thought it'd be a fight that pretty much everyone on here has seen multiple times?

i'm in

Can I make a suggestion.
Going for something a little older and a chance to see a British great, hand only a second defeat is over 130 fights, to probably the best fighter that ever lived.

Randolph Turpin vs Sugar Ray Robinson

It's not a great fight and seen it lots and lots of times...

Boxerbeetle wrote:Maybe the Tom Johnson fight? Was a unification fight and was more competitive than the Robinson fight.

Yeah, I'll probably go with that one then.

There's a Randolph Turpin Bar a couple of miles from me, some nice memorabilia and they show old fights on the TV all day.

Leave it until another week Horse
Going by the feedback it's not worth rushing for.
And I'm on holiday in a forest cabin in Cornwall for the next week, chances are the wifi isn't up to youtube videos

Well, it's the first 50's fight I want to do when we go back to the old fights again.

Whether it's boring or not, it's still one of the most important fights in British & Irish boxing history.

Enjoy your holiday.

Week 12?

With Herol Graham in the hospital maybe we could do one of his fights.

Herol Graham vs Mike McCallum?
