They were before my time as a fan but i look at the fights on YouTube and i can't see why these guys are forgotten. You never hear any mention of these guys anywhere.
I'll have to watch some of the guys in that third paragraph. Love watching fights from that era.
Jones vs john michael johnson, tom johnson, barrera
the early 90s was loaded at 118-126

Junior Jones upset the applecart....twice....they robbed him of a knockout win because one of Barrera's seconds came in the ring

Junior Jones really had Barrera's number.
In the second fight Barrera came in more declined and still lost.
Junior Jones had a Khan's chin

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostYeah that was one of those jaw-dropping fights. He bombed Barrera out of there. I thought Jones was washed up and weak-chinned going in. After he won the rematch he was flying pretty high...until McKinney exposed that china chin.

Those little guys and naz made possible for little guys today to be main events
Can't forget vuyuni bungu, welcome ncita, Zaragoza, wilfredo Vazquez, Orlando canizales Paul banks, etc 118-126 was crazy before the late 90s and they were all retired or shot
122 alone pre Barrera/Morales was in a golden era. Man USA, ESPN, HBO always had good lil man scraps..I was only like 8-10 watching those guys with my uncles
A lot of great fights though during that period.
