Over Night Sensations!!

[Spicoli]

As I saw my list again right now I realized that I completely left out what IMO is quite possibly THEE BIGGEST case of an over night sensation.

The then obscure and unknown fighter who was 67-3-9 with all of his fights taking place in his native Argentina except for 3 fights which took place in Brazil. He goes over to Italy and dethrones the champ 'La Escopeta'.

First instinct was Coggi..Think Im way off.You got a good one here Mick?? THink Italy??I am no good with nick names.Nice One

Arguably the greatest 160 fighter ever. Carlos 'La Escopeta' Monzon.

Meldrick Taylor Tko 12 Buddy Mcgirt

Kind of hard to call a Gold Medal winner an over night sensation. Great things were expected from Taylor from the beginning.

Kind of hard to call a Gold Medal winner an over night sensation. Great things were expected from Taylor from the beginning.

He realized it there though.The way he dominated Mcgirt and shut him down.The Davis comparrison alot made at time as far as Draw (taylor) and KO 1 (Buddy) were overstated on hindsight.Alot was expected of Davis also,until Mcgirt and Rosario bombed him.Taylor was a phenom that night.

Baldomir sprang to mind when i saw the title.

Carlos Monzon after beating Nino Benvenutti in there first fight.
Zahir Raheem after beating Morales (didn't last.)

George Foreman after he beat Frazier, I know he had exposure before that but he was never expected to be top tier.

Kelly Pavlik i guess, as he was largely unknown before 07!

Juan Manuel Marquez was alaways good but never famous til the overnight acclaim he received after the Pac fight.

I was reading about Baldomir the other day and it started me thinking about fighters who one minute were practically obsolete in the game or maybe I should say complete nobody's then in just a matter of one fight they are on top of everyones news list....Now how long they reamined there is one thing but fact they made it there is another...

Baldomir-Before beating Judah his biggest moment in the sun was a DQ win over Clottey....

Leon Spinks- Yeah he was a gold medalist but his win over Ali with just 8 fights turned him into a household name

Buster Douglas-- He was in the abyss of washed up heavyweights when he beat Tyson..became the modern cinderella man

Anyone have a few to add?

Mark Willis beating Greg Page.

[Spicoli]

Keith Mullings Vs. Terry Norris

and for all the wrong reasons phony Luis Santana "W". Terry Norris 1,2

[OumaFan]

Remember being surprised by Pacquaio against Ledwabha, just beat the hell out of him. Don't know if anybody thought he would be this good though.

Maybe Mayorga-Forrest. Know he had beaten 6 heads but didn't expect him to beat Forrest. Actually know that I think about it the whole smoking a cigarette thing kind of got his name out there.

Vince Phillips Vs. Kostya Tszyu

John Michael Johnson Vs.Poison Jr.Jones
