    oh fuck off with this racial resentment stuff, you wee mick bastard

    Hagler beat Briscoe, Cyclone Hart, Monroe, Watts, Antuofermo, Minter, Hamsho, Roldan ... all of them good, strong, capable middleweights and all of them better than 95% of the guys Calzaghe beat

    Wow, i thought you were talking shite but am genuinely impressed instead. Would love to see it after hearing conflicting reports based on hearsay about the fight over the years.

    Never seen it personally, as Salaco said there are conflicting reports about whether it was a robbery or not, I just found it funny that one of the best fighters in the world P4P was carrying a loss to someone as ordinary as Richie Wenton.

    That's cool you have it though man, I wasn't even aware there was footage of that fight around.

    that is a fight i dont need to see to know it was a robbery. Ive seen wenton and that is all i need to know. not to mention the bout took place on st patricks day. i suspect nacho beristain was managing johnson back then.

    ive spoken to johnson ( a pious lad, of the utmost integrity) about it a few times and he insists it was a robbery.

    Fair enough, I'd suspect it was not kosher although it was a four rounder plus Johnson's debut, and these things happen. I doubt it being st. patrick's day would have helped wenton on that card, more likely that being allied with whatever promoter was involved with dave boy mc auley would have done the trick if he was regarded as a promising 'home' fighter.

    btw, there is apparently a complete version of sibson-minter out there.

    Crap, I blew that one completely. Hill was not a southpaw, and I was thinking about Tszyu's fight with Jake the snake. When Tszyu was trying to figure out a southpaw.

    Pudwill, despite being unimaginably awful, went the distance with Ottke as well as fighting Calzaghe. He was also a two week replacement for Thomas Tate, who pulled out injured.

    Possibly the best pure boxer in the history of the entire sport. He'd clown Pac for my money.

    Yeah right. There's no fucking way he clowns Pacquiao. And at 140 or 147 he'd get stopped.

    in 1981 perhaps

    but I dont think they could have envisioned a "champion" like Calzaghe... fighters like that didnt exist back then, there wasnt a shitty division for them to co-rule unspectacularly against utterly shitty fighters

    Fully Obel wouldve been one of the upper half of calzaghe's title defenses for sure.
