    Duran being led to utter slaughter with William Joppy. Absolute travesty.

    Good calls, Duran being fed to Joppy is indeed a shame. Don't actually remember what kind of beating Taylor took against Chavez in the rematch, but on those same lines Oscar De La Hoya giving Chavez a rematch 2 years after knocking his dentures out was pretty worthless.
    Ha, didn't think of that. Agreed man. Chavez was patched back together for Oscar and got pummeled.

    Taylor didn't fall apart until late in rematch and stood strong early with a few flashes of old self but it was a matter of time. What has alway bothered me about that one is that King and JCC just towed an obviously faded Taylor along, stuffing him on Chavez undercards where he was being hit clean by club fighters and then finally "made rematch" after Chavez bs rematch result with Randall. Insult to injury was Taylor going down in weight. It was like a short cut to 'redemption' and King trying to keep his faded meal ticket safe. Randall should have been an instant rematch...not 10 years later.
    Assuming you meant an instant rubber match? Chavez did rematch Randall but hardly settled the score in that one, that was a bullshit TD where Randall had a point docked for an accidental butt. He was ahead on points regardles imo, although I haven't seen that one in forever.

    In a perfect world he would have settled "unfinished business" before naming the card with Taylor the same thing. I personally think Randall was on his way to a late tko or certain W there. Then King has the nerve to stand on live TV and say Randall should fight Pernell Whitaker and the winner would "get a fight with Julio"...after both pretty much had their way with him
