Micheal Nunn needs a little mention, seems like I never hear anyone talking about him. He did lose in his biggest fights but he had alot of quality wins. The guy fought pro for almost 20 years thats pretty crazy. Some guys he beat:Sumbu Kalambay ko1, he knocked out Roldan, that guy had a granite chin. Marlon Sterling , Iran Barkley, Donald Curry ko10, Merqui Sosa, John Scully, retired 58-4 37ko's. Not too shabby.

I like all the fights that happened between:
Marlon Starling
Donald Curry
Johnny Bumphus
Lloyd Honeyghan
Simon Brown
Mark Breland
Michael Nunn
Maurice Blocker

I feel like an over-reactive arse.........but Nunn's display against Iran Barkley was an exercise in pure existince.It Made Delahoya in Late rounds vs.Tito look more like Edwin Rosario vs.Juan meza compared
KO of Kalambay was Awesome! Good skills and always had that Smirk.Only second to Toneys Left Hook

Sandy Saddler For beating Willie Pep 3 out of 4 times Mostly for knocking him out in the 4 round the first time they fought. Then making him retire the other
2 he was somthing in those fights and also was a 3 time featherweight champion and also a Juniorlightweight champion. Also Never stopped in 162 fights is pretty good to record of 144 wins and 103 kos 2 draws and 16 loses is pretty good as well. I do not really hear about him much but he was a great fighter.
Micheal Spinks people i think forget how good he was because all they can remembered is the Tyson fight. But a LH he had 11 deffences was 26 wins 19 kos and no loses and beat Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Oscar Rivadeneyra and Jim MacDonald which are pretty good wins.
O yea and have a CC Cut me i have learned alot about boxing in this thread was a great idea on your part.

I think the reason why fighters like Sandler, Pep, Locche, Henry and all those fighters are less talked about and or mentioned is because of the rariety of footage of their fights.
Not because they weren't good fighters.

I know i just got some footage of Sandy Saddler and thought i bring him up on the thread sounded like a good idea.

This is a really good topic, i think Esteben de Jesus was unlucky he was around when Duran was in his prime as a Lightweight in the 70's.
He still gave Duran his first loss and fought him two more times knocking him down twice in their encounters. A great fighter never given the recognition he deserves.

Really good call on this one heres CC#62 on me....
Esteban argueably in the top 20 PR fighters of all time.
Sad how his life ended but he was still a great fighter. I remember watching the second Duran fight and seeing Duran hit the canvas in round 1 I sware I almost shit my pants...
Duran in true fashion bounces back in the round. 'Kid Pambele' just gave him a boxing lesson I think if De Jesus won 3 rounds that's being nice to him. But he never gave up and fought the whole way through.
His career catches a second wind and he captures the WBC title from Guts (Another guy I listed in this thread) he made 3 defenses and then met Duran for the 3rd time again giving Duran all he could handle but falling short again.

I just remembered Aaron Davis & Meldrick Taylor also tango'd with some of them.
Damn! now I'm gonna have to go thru my videos and dig up some of those fights.

I saw that fight with Pintor Vs Owen on Faces of Death. That was hard to watch he crumbled and it seemed like he died in the ring. I saw this a long time ago, and remember thinking how in the hell is this skinny lil guy even allowed in the ring. I guess he was a decent little fighter ,but he looked real fragile to me....I must admit I've never seen any other fights of his.

I just can't see it mate... I can't.
Things like that just ain't my thing I know it's something that may happen in the ring but I tend to not think about that.
Well I've never seen a Owen fight either but I know theres quite a few highlight videos flowing around.

I just had my friend check this link. He says the right hand is show here...

Yes I've seen it about a year ago.
The clip I posted is from that documentary.

Mick you will know the answer to this better than anyone i think, how on earth did Rafael Herrera get two wins against a prime Ruben Olivares? Herrera must be underrated because if he beat Olivares twice then he must have been pretty good?

[No Contest]

Well I watched it, because I'm sick I guess, but he looked shaken after the first knockdown in the 12th and didnt focus the ref didnt really look in his eyes. But hey it was the 12th, and by accounts a close fight. Give Johnnie credit he got up in that condition and was a warrior to the end he nodded to the ref on continueing. The last 3 shots were all to the temples that was too much for poor Johnnie. RIP Its not as graphic as the Faces of Death footage if I remember they showed the after effects with him being taken to the hospital. That is a brutal ass film, and I was about 11 or 12 watching that...where were my parents you say? Next to me watching...
