Re: Fighters who were great for only one fight?
Im re-thinking this one but how about Frankie Randall.So sporadic,but when he was on......mainly on that night he honed ALL his skills and boxed his arse off Vs. JCC in the first fight.What a gameplan and looked IMO,absolutly great.Turmoil,some created by his demons, vices and lack of focus would not see him preform at that top notch level again.On that night,He lived up to his nickname,The surgeon.
Re: Fighters who were great for only one fight?
Akinobu Hiranaka anihilated "El Chapo" in 1 round but that was about it...
Re: Fighters who were great for only one fight?
Just remembered another one...
Hiroyuki Ebihara destroys Pone Kingpetch also in 1 round but never was after that...
Re: Fighters who were great for only one fight?

Phillips early on showed quality and just an all out fighter.Had personal flaw's and Skin like rice paper,over reliant booming right hand which got him hit but made for many great scraps.

Same here.
Re: Fighters who were great for only one fight?
I talked about this fight the other night...
John M. Johnson paced himself well in the rematch with Junior Jones and beat him.
How about Willy Salazar hitting the lotto when he sparked out "Kid Dynamite" Romero...
Seguei vs. Lamon... Serguei showed tremendous heart and fought like a wolf. But WTF happened to him?
Baldomir busting up Zab...

What might have been YES ,but Ike looked great againest Chris Byrd and a few other to , he could have been a top champ if he wasnt such a prick out of the ring.

Terron Millett over Vince Phillips would of been a better pick. Ivan Hernandez over Mark Johnson I'm watching right now. It fits. Hernandez ain't done shiit since
Re: Fighters who were great for only one fight?
Somsak Sithchatchawal and Mahyar Monshipour in their fight.
Henry cooper putting down Ali. He still lost, but by dropping him it made ali a little more human
Re: Fighters who were great for only one fight?
Douglas is obviously the first guy that comes to mind.
Raheem is a good one too.
Travis Simms?
Re: Fighters who were great for only one fight?
Jimmy Young one good Fighter, make no mistake. ;D
