He destroyed p4p number 1 Curry (even ahead of Hagler on p4p in 86)
Bumphus was world class 29-1
Blocker was 24-0 and only lost once between 82 and 90 (to Honeyghan) beateing Starlon in process
Hatcher only ever beaten on cuts taken out inside a round

Whadda reckon?


One other thing BIG H do you think that was one of the best ever performances from British fighter over someone rated as high as Curry ??

Arguement could be made for Turpin vs Robinson but what do you think ??
I'd go with Honeyghan, because SRR was not in the later years of his best. I'd put Hatton v Tszyu and Benn v McClelland in the mix too
