Tony Mundine (Anthony's dad), who beat a Hall of Famer in Emile Griffith, but lost to another Hall of Famer in Carlos Monzon for Monzon's WBA Middleweight title fight. Throughout his career, Mundine won the Australian Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, Cruiserweight and Heavyweight Championship. Mundine did regained his Australian Heavyweight Championship and he retained his Australian Light Heavyweight and Australian Heavyweight titles and won the Australian Cruiserweight title in the same fight.

Fighter A is my fellow Scorpio, "The Hackney Rock" Dennis Andries, who was the 3-time WBC Light Heavyweight Champion.

Fight B is Tom Collins who challenged Jeff "The Hitman" Harding for his WBC Light Heavyweight title and Leeonzer Barber for his WBO Light Heavyweight Title, which Collins was unable to beat both of them.

Both Dennis Andries and Tom Collins fought each other for a rare 5 times with Andries dominated Collins in that series 4-1.

1. This boxer challenged unsuccessful for WBO, WBA, WBC and IBF titles in separate fights.
2. Had three straight fights against two Hall of Famers. Lost all three inside the distance.

Andrew Golota, who failed to win the WBC, IBF, WBA and WBO Heavyweight title.

Golota had fought two Hall of Famers in three straight fights by losing to Riddick Bowe twice on DQ in both bizarre fights and he was stopped by Lennox Lewis in the first round in his first failed challenge for Lewis' WBC Heavyweight Title. Golota drew with Chris Byrd for his IBF Heavyweight Title, lost a decision to John Ruiz for his WBA Heavyweight Title and was stopped by Lamon Brewster in the first round for his WBO Heavyweight Title.

Blimey, that was fast.

Ambling Alp II wrote: ↑07 May 2026, 18:28 That was good. Golota always seemed to find a way to lose. To be fair, he should have got the decision against Ruiz. Would have been interesting how much better people would think of him if he had.

scorpio83 wrote: ↑08 May 2026, 14:50 Thank guys I appreciate it. For Golota's fight against Ruiz for his WBA Heavyweight title, I thought he won the fight after knocking Ruiz down twice and outpunching him.
