Legendary post which has supplanted the Hamed & Harrison fights in my mind, and is now the very first thing I think of whenever someone mentions Medina.

I wasn’t going to mention but in that case it’s something of a disgrace you didn’t quote the Medina epic yourself
Manuel Medinas name should never be mentioned without it really

I’m not so sure. He won on durability, persistence, solid boxing skills. You couldn’t describe him as fast surely.

Robbo is a good one. Terrific guard, terrific body puncher. Not overly fast or powerful.
