    Default Fighters who were great for only one fight?

    I mean guys like Hatton and Barry McGuigan who beat all time great champions but never been as great as they were on that one night.

    I give Hatton as an example as he my prove to be a great fihter in the future.

    Buster Douglas
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Jimmy Young did that against Ali with Ali getting one of the worst decisions ever.

    Its 3rd in Bert Sugars 100 worst decisions.

    Jimmy Young wasn't actually that good in the Muhammad Ali fight, nor was Muhammad Ali, but Jimmy Young did deserve the decision against Muhammad Ali.

    He fought great against George Foreman and comeback from a bad round 7, to knockdown big George Foreman down on the last round with a mixture of great boxing from Jimmy Young, mixed in with a bit of aggression great performance.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Supprised nobody has mentioned Randy Turpin.

    His win over Sugar Ray Robinson is proboly the best win for any British fight of all time.
