A couple off the top of my head; •Whitaker-Pryor at light-welterweight •Spinks-Foster at light-heavyweight •Lomachenko-Marcel at featherweight •Fenech-Rigondeaux at super-bantamweight •Hearns-Gavilán at welterweight
@DanRafael1 fun question of the day. If you could fantasy book any two fighters of the same weight class in history that casual fans wouldn’t pick (e.g. Ali/Tyson or Floyd/Sugar) which two would you pick?
A magnificent example of the European culture we’re told doesn’t exist. Touches my heart every single time.

180-180-180-180-141 Both players didn’t miss a dart, the most perfect leg in the sports history.
I’ve spoken about this matchup before and haven’t changed my mind over the years - I’d pick Rigondeaux to neutralise Inoue and win a decision. Let’s take a look at some of the dynamics below ⬇️
Who wins at 122lbs? Naoya Inoue vs Guillermo Rigondeaux
I wrote about Herman if anyone’s interested (check the reply to this post)
Pete "Kid" Herman regained the world bantamweight crown #OnThisDay in 1921 via a 15-round points decision over "Skinny" Joe Lynch at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York.
You obviously can’t teach Jones’ athleticism, but you absolutely can teach how to set traps. To the level that he executed it at? Maybe not. But focussing solely on Jones’ athleticism detracts from just how smart he was.
Roy Jones be training fighters like what he was doing can be taught 😂😂😭
I can’t get over how electric this. Watched it 20 times today. RIP Ozzy Osbourne.
@TypewritingDA said this once, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai vs Sung-kil Moon at super flyweight
