fighters who dined out on 1 result

[margaret thatcher]

luiz ortiz has beaten 1 top 10 fighter his whole career (jennings) and seems to get an eternal highly rated status just for that. based merely on that 1 fight, he was considered a beast for years , despite stuff like not even being able to stop malik scott


what other fighters dined out on a particular result, well past its date

[JamesPhilips]

Buster Douglas, Danny Williams..... poss Kevin McBride

[margaret thatcher]

ah yes, the mike tyson conquerors

[Lenny Cravats]

Kell Brook.

Not so much dined out, but it remained the only world level name.
Real waste.

Oh yeah, after that it was all "the special one" etc.
Made me queasy.
I can't have him up on how much money he made afterwards though, truly remarkable.

To a lesser extent and for a limited time - Bruno dined out on hurting Tyson until well his world title win really.

[stujones]

Another to a lesser extent one (as there were some other great performances in this career) - but would Cooper have got knighted had he not floored Ali.

Zahir Raheem
Carlos Maussa

On a different note, Maussa throwing, and almost landing, a punch on the head of Vivian Harris as he was layed out, was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.

100 percent

coops had a profile and popularity going far beyond nearly any other fighter of his level

Ha yes! Just about every second of Maussa's televised career was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in boxing. God bless him.

Also (though not a result) Tony Galento flooring Joe Louis. I mean that spawned a whole book, basically

On a similar note - Chuck Wepner inspired a film franchise.

Yes Wepner will be remembered forever because of the movie franchise. Good call

[margaret thatcher]

what about leon spinks?

[dookus]

what about leon spinks?

Part of the magic of boxing, I suppose - no other sport can give someone that degree of lasting fame from a single result
