Ask your avrage British sports fan who is Michael Nunn or Sumbu Kalambay you will get a blank look.
Ask them who is Hearns or Duran you will get a different answer.
READ THE THREAD!
I did read the thread title and your first post, and you said it was the best KO since Roberto Duran vs Thomas Hearns at the high level right ? Michael Nunn, Sumbu Kalambay, were top level fighters.
I don't get what your saying so just because armchair fans wouldn't of heard of Michael Nunn, Sumbu Kalambay, it doesn't count ?
Any person that follow's boxing would know who they are, and since it earned the first ever KO of the year. I would say it is a pretty well known amongst proper boxing fans.
And it was even more shocking because Sumbu Kalambay had a world class chin, and he had beaten the likes of Herol Graham, Iran Barkley, Steve Collins, Mike McCallum.
And also add to the fact that Michael Nunn wasn't known as a big puncher was even more shocking, and i'd say it was even more shocking and brutal than Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton was.
