    Despite being robbed Armando Muniz fought like an animal vs. "Mantequilla" Napoles in their 1st fight...

    Rubin Carter sparking out Emile in 1 round...
    Vilomar Fernandez was great for 1 night vs. Alexis.

    It's pretty incredible when you compare that to his fight with Popo.

    Im re-thinking this one but how about Frankie Randall.So sporadic,but when he was on......mainly on that night he honed ALL his skills and boxed his arse off Vs. JCC in the first fight.What a gameplan and looked IMO,absolutly great.Turmoil,some created by his demons, vices and lack of focus would not see him preform at that top notch level again.On that night,He lived up to his nickname,The surgeon.

    I talked about this fight the other night...

    John M. Johnson paced himself well in the rematch with Junior Jones and beat him.

    How about Willy Salazar hitting the lotto when he sparked out "Kid Dynamite" Romero...

    Seguei vs. Lamon... Serguei showed tremendous heart and fought like a wolf. But WTF happened to him?

    Baldomir busting up Zab...

    Riddick Bowe vs Holyfield 1. He had other good nights, but on that night, he could have beaten just about anybody.

    Mickey Ward in the first Gatti fight.

    You could argue that he had two great nights against Ali and Foreman although I had not watched either fight.

    He never had a great night against Muhammad Ali both men didn't fight too well, especially Muhammad Ali who was very out of shape at 230+ pounds. But Young deserved the nod against Ali though no question IMO.

    But Jimmy Young fought a great fight against George Foreman no question, he got badly hurt in the 7th round and comeback to floor Foreman in the last round.

    The Young v Norton fight was a WAR, Kenny shaved a SD.
