Fighters I have ALOT of respect for, but for a specific reason!

Can you guess the reason?

Lennox Lewis
Joe Louis
Rocky Graziano
Floyd Patterson
Jose Luis Castillo

I can't think of the others at the moment. There are very few of these fighters in history that fit into this specific category.

 

Lennox Lewis - cause he's black
Joe Louis - cause he's black
Rocky Graziano - cause his first name's Rocky
Floyd Patterson - cause he's black
Jose Luis Castillo - probably cause he gave you the 1st Corrales war.

How did I do? ::

 

They stepped back into the ring against guys who knocked them out?

 

Lennox Lewis: Limp wristed and beat Tyson.

Joe Louis: Almost killed his mistress by choking her

Rocky Graziano: protected fighter who was a middleweight who often
fought smaller guys. Sounds kind of like a certain middleweight champ who you like a lot.

Floyd Patterson: protected fighter who defended the most prized title in sports against a guy with zero pro fights. Also, he is recognized by many as the true youngest heavyweight champ ever and not Tyson, who you like.

Jose Luis Castillo: tried to tamper with the scales

 

So far no one is correct

 

hopkins - one of the most disciplined fighters ever
floyd - likewise

 

I have alot of respect for them because they all share a COMMON reason, which is VERY admirable in this sport which we love.

 

They are all gay?

 

So far only one person has touched on a point which is close (hint).

 

Lennox Lewis - he's gay
Joe Louis - he fought in ww2
Rocky Graziano - i dont know. he was tough?
Floyd Patterson - youngest heavyweight champ at the time. first fighter to regain the title
Jose Luis Castillo - i dont know.

 

They all signed you an autograph?

 

they all won rematches by KO?

 

These are not "common" reasons. :doh:

It is something which they all have in common.

 

read my above post. i think that's your reason

 

[removing the hint]

 

I said that there are VERY few fighters in history, that have accomplished what they had accomplished...and that I couldn't even think of anymore.

MANY fighters have won rematches....

 

all of them regained their title?

 

They all seeked challenges? AND were gay?

 

Nope. Many have regained their title also.

 

Ah broadwayjoe is on the thread...he'll get it.

 

Either the title of the thread changed or I'm really tired this morning. I thought it just said "I have, for a specific reason" and I figured you meant "I hate".

 

Joony and Whiskey ae the only ones so far that have given fairly well thought out answers.

 

They all have a high KO percentage?

 

No, or I would have included Foreman, Tyson, Hearns, mosley and many others.

 

How about this?

They lost fights by KO and came back to win by KO in the rematch and in each case at least one of the fights was for a title.

 

none of them ever gave excuses for losing?

 

BINGO!

I never doubted your talents even for a second Broadwayjoe. I knew you'd be the first person to get it.:clap:

Can you think of any others?

It's something that RARELY happens.

 

Victor Galindez lost and regained his 175 lb title to Mike Rossman by TKO.

 

Cool, 'cause I couldn't think of any other examples. It's not something that happens often because it takes HEART to be able to face the man who stopped you and then have the belief in yourself to go after him and knock him out in return.

In most cases when a fighter loses the first fight by KO they lose the second fight also. If they do happen to win the rematch, it's usually by safe decision.

 

You masturbated at a picture of them.
