But yeah Boone probably would have been a decent fight for him earlier on.

It's hard af to find footage of some of Boone's fights. Can't find Kovalev/Boone 1, can only find a low quality snippet of Boone/Stevenson etc

It was close enough that a rematch was needed. I could never find that fight. For some reason only the rematch is available. And then there's a ****ty version of his KO of Stevenson. Lara schooled that guy at 6-0 a while before he fought Kovalev and Stevenson twice.

if you ask Boone who is better GGG or Ward... he says GGG. (he was his sparring partner i believe).

Originally posted by larryx.. View PostI saw an unfavorable account of Darnell Boone, so this post is necessary, I dare any Undefeated prospect at 160/154 to face Darnell Boone, even the current older version & still we will get to see some nice Knockouts
Boone fought as low as 156 without having to drain weight (5'6" fella who is listed 5'7") & instead matchmakers gave him fights way above his weight/height/reach, yet Boone made the best of it
Andre Ward only KD in his life was (because of Boone)
Adonis Stevenson is 27-1-0 (because of Boone)
Sergey Kovalev lost his 100% Ko ratio (because of Boone)
Sergey Kovalev down for the first time (because of Boone)
Lennox Allen is 20-0-1 (because of Boone)
Morgan Fitch is 16-0-1 (because of Boone)
James Countryman is 14-1-0 (because of Boone)
Ronalid Johnson is 11-1-0 (because of Boone)
GGG opponent(Monroe) only lost once (because of Boone)
KO Artist James Johnson quit boxing (because of Boone)
Lajuan Simon has 2 draws (because of Boone)
Judges made extra $ SD, MD, UD (because of Boone)
I don't know if I agree with the one poster that claimed he could of been a champion, but with a good trainer, manager and promoter behind him he could of been a lot more than a low level stepping stone.
