Oh I know, just the way I was trying to come at it I guess. With give and take wars that go the distance, both guys generally have my respect and there are far to many to list.
Does anyone remember Julian Letterlough? There is no boxing on TV in Canada any more but there was occasionally years back when I started watching, and they replayed a couple of his fights time to time. Check this one out, crazy fight.
For fans under 30...like Gandalf....i think
Would never know Holyfield for example had to earn respect.
Going into his fight with Riddick. .he was ridiculed.
Past it Michael Dokes, went the distance with Holmes and Forman ..fighters from a whole decade ago....and got a standing 8 count from Bert Cooper.
I remember vividly that Holy was called a blown up cruiserweight, not a real HW. Given the chance a young fighter will prove Holy aint a legit HW.
Bowe be that man....but Holy didnt get exposed. He literally had to lose a fight to gain respect.
The rest of his career was a testimony of a great HW.

You lot only talk about recent stuff!
What about Azumah Nelson against Salvador Sanchez. It was Nelsons big break, coming from nowhere against an all time great .... and he then went on to be an ATG himself.
Tim Witherspoon against Larry Holmes?
There is always Rocky Balboa against Mason Dixon
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
Tony Tucker
He was the first to legitimately expose Tyson's weakness against taller fighters who can jab.

Tucker had some success at different moments of the fight even though his constant holding uglied it up a bit. I give credit to Tyson for staying focused and not getting frustrated. Tucker's jab worked effectively in some rounds too, not many but a few. He even rocked Mike with an uppercut.
Tyson was impressive, but far from looking like "The Baddest Man on the Planet".
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
