Frankie Randall was a fairly speedy boxer-mover down at 135, but perhaps lacking a bit in durability (if the Primo Ramos fight is any indication)....
Somehow, I overlooked Rosario-Ramirez II. Rosario-Randall II probably also qualifies. EDIT: Oops, wrong thread! :Facepalm:
I thought Pacquiao-Thurman was the best fight of 2019, not only because of how great a fight it was but also how historically significant.
He was "downloading information."
That fight was basically Harada's Duran-Buchanan moment. Ironically, Harada himself would fall victim to a teenage substitute when he lost his BW...
I often thought of him as similar to Benvenuti - a playboy whose outside-the-ring lifestyle sometimes caught up with him, but who came up big when...
Pascual Perez-Kingpetch Mark Johnson-Rafael Marquez Rocchigiani-Dariusz M.
Saad-Conteh I was another ATG chess match with explosive bursts of action: [MEDIA]
Good shouts on those Harold Johnson fights. Ike Williams vs. Enrique Bolanos: [MEDIA] [MEDIA] [MEDIA]

AB is like a modern-day Golota or Judah - no matter how many times he loses, he keeps weaseling his way back onto big fight cards. And people...
Marvin Johnson seemed to learn how to slow the pace of his fights so he could win ones without having to throw a million punches a round. Harold...
There are a lot of parallels between Kova and GGG. They were both at the tail end of their primes when they finally got their first true...
I think the most frustrating aspect to Gamboa-Lopez not happening is that there was no real obstacle that prevented it (since both fighters were...
That was Referee Jack Dempsey, who was notorious for scoring a lot of rounds even. He scored 10 rounds even in the 3rd McLarnin-Ross fight.
Jack was indeed the one on the far left, and the other one was Ingemar.
You got every one correct. Here's your reward. [IMG]
Yes.
Not sure how much recognition it had, but Dariusz M. won some sort of CW title before winning the LHW title from Hill.
Marvin Johnson suffered one of the most horrific beatdowns ever in his final fight vs. Leslie Stewart. Other candidates: Ross-Armstrong...
The judge who had Tyson beating Douglas at the time of the KO has to be the all-time worst. Thankfully, it never came into play.
Darryl Pinckney holds stoppage wins over Jr. Jones (before he beat Barrera) and Guty Espadas Jr. (undefeated at the time). Pinckney had a .500...
Mathis was a cagey infighter, but Tyson still looked rusty in only his 2nd fight back from his prison stint. He was better in his next fight...
Fighting Harada.
I laughed way too hard at this. :Jest:
Monzon-Valdez II Olivares-Castillo II Olivares-Kanazawa II Harada-Jofre II (IMO) Larios-Vazquez II
I think a case could be made that Chavez was greater based on scoring big wins across multiple weight classes, but Monzon was better based on his...
Gavilan-Graham 3 is the GOAT of chess matches IMO - a briskly paced and entertaining fight with plenty of skill and changes in tactics from two...
Johnny Bratton and Chuck Davey - probably too much for their own goods.
Henry Armstrong jumped from FW to WW to win the title from Ross, then back down to 135 to take that one from Ambers. After losing the FW title to...
