I find it odd you'd prefer the 2nd Morales fight as a greater moment for Barrera than the 3rd one. I personally had that 2nd bout scored for Morales. I thought the 3rd bout was a draw, but the feeling amongst people in general is definitely that Barrera performed better in that bout than the 2nd.[/quote]

sorry youre right but it was an error prompted by the need to get my post in before anyone else did - this thread is a race against time

I know nothing about fernandez

The Perico is a bit too obtuse for me.

I'll raise a Milton McCrory if that's alright?

mccrory's win over jones deserves a lot of credit - jones was a really top notch pressure fighter with genuine power in either hand. the first fight was a fair draw and mccrory wobbled a few times. MC was under the cosh for much of the second fight but kept his head and eeked out a tough win.

lets play... iron mike - his greatest hour

KO1 Spinks

Chris Eubank

Nigel Benn 1

Herol Graham

Giving McCallum a very tough time of it, the brilliant McCallum really respected Herol from then on; (though beating Pazienza when out of his prime or the masterclass v Kaylor, Douglas or Johnson were great times).

(I'm sorry, Herol was a hero and he made me laugh out loud when he made people miss and then hit them hard when he pulled that wide eyed face).

Billy Schwer?

Billy Schwer?

I defo agree with your choice in McCallum, an excellent performance against a great fighter.

Schwer is a tough one, I remember watching him fight although nothing stands out as a big win for me. I'm going to go with Sandro Casamonica, I remember the fight vaguely.

ok - name a fighter....
no worries i'll do it...

Michael watson

Watson's defeat of Benn is his best result.

But what about... Herbie Hide?

Mike Gibbons

W6 Harry Greb surely.

Next up, Jack Johnson

You old bastard

ok - he beat greb but harry was a 12 fight youngster at the time and still nearly won. I'd say gibbons 3rd fight against George chip was his greatest hour.

ok hold the rossman, go with jack johnson

james j Jeffries - this bout arguably ushered in the modern boxing era - Jeffries still sharp and dangerous loses to Johnson who establishes himself as the first great of the modern ring

to the equally great (arguably!) mike rossman

I can't see that one because I have the Douche on ignore.

ok, I might have been talking Jeffries up a touch, but he did work hard get himself in good shape and was the best true heavy Johnson faced. give the guy a break!

rocky graziano

Graziano it would probably have to be the 2nd Zale fight.

But his knocking out Freddie Cochrane in the 10th round of a fight he was losing damn near every step of the way is right up there too. He did that twice I think.
