Great Fighters Who Struggled Against Fighters ............

[Lance Uppercut]

Styles make fights.

My trainer when I was a little kid used to tell a story of when he was in the army:

He claimed that he could beat everyone in his company in boxing except one guy, and that guy in turn, could only beat him.

The guy had an aggressive forward moving style that he just could not handle.

Styles make fights

[El Kabong]

Foreman-Briggs ....at that point in their careers Briggs should have handed it to him but Foreman was a beast.

Mercer-Lewis....Ray was limited and Lennox let him in the fight more than he should have.

Cotto-Torres...Torres was a sub and therefore Cotto hadn't prepared for his style but it was ugly.

Ali-Norton....Norton was a fucking body builder and there is no way he should have fought that well vs Ali.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Daniel Santos V Antonio Margerito

Vernon Forrest V Ricardo Mayorga

Ali V Ken Norton

Ruben Olivares v Rafael Herrera

Eder Jofre V Fighting Harada

I have chosen fighters who fought their opponent more than once and struggled or lost when they should have won.

[Trainer Monkey]

Everyone against Quarry
Jerry just had this talent for not going away,and you could see the frustration on the face of all the high end fighters who fought him
Bugner was the same way

Erik Morales and Barrera


I know you guys disagree with me on this, but I don't care about what you guys think about Erik, but Erik was better, fought better, fought better competition, beat better fighters...... It's just that Barrera could handle everything Erik could dish out.

Agh, whatever, I know I'm going to get a reply in disagreement, but know this... your wrong. haha

El Terrible!!!! Oh the good'ol days.
