Some Serious History For You Guys :)

Calzaghe Stopping Chris Byrd is one of the ones that Stand out Someone asked Enzo Calzaghe that and he said 'Not that I know!' So I don't believe it.

Very good Read John, thanks! Interesting. Calzaghe Stopping Chris Byrd is one of the ones that Stand out. Also, Jone Jr. did Fight The G Man.

Ricky Hatton was knocked out by current WBC #2 or #3 super-middleweight contender Jurgen Brahmer. Brahmer also beat Felix Sturm (Sturm beat Jermain Taylor). Taylor beat him in the olyimpics easily.............

http://www.maxboxing.com/news/Scully013108.asp << SOME SERIOUS HISTORY FOR YOU GUYS :) MAX BOXING DOT COM /news/Scully013108.asp First off, good read there John! I knew about many of these amateur bouts, but it is good to see a more detailed report about them. Just wanted to ask you if you knew of a fighter who fought in the amateurs at 165 during the late 80's/early 90's I believe who called himself the sandman? I met a gentlemen down in Florida about a year ago who told me that he fought Jones in the amateurs. When he turned pro he he ended up going to the Kronk to train with Manny Steward and he regularly sparred with Gerald McClellan. He told me his name, I wanted to look him up, but alot of crazy things happened that day and I forgot what his name was. He was pretty tall about 6'4, light skin black guy(actually sounded like Roy Jones a bit), when he showed me his boxing stance he stepped his left foot back to go southpaw so I am guessing he fought southpaw, and he called himself the Sandman. I was curious to find out more info about his career. If this fighter sounds familiar I would definitely appreciate any info you could give me about him.

Chris Eubank's last loss before Collins was 10 years earlier to the month in the New York Golden Gloves semi-final against Jospeh Henry at MSG. Naseem Hamed's last loss before Barrera was against Dean Pithie in 1989. So, Hamed went undefeated for the whole of the 1990s!

Nigel Benn avenged (in 1986) his only loss (in 1985) to Rod Douglas, who was robbed against Canadian Shawn O'Sullivan (reigning world amateur champion) at the 1984 Olympics (O'Sullivan was robbed against Frank Tate in the final). Nigel knocked Rod down a couple of times and beat the crap out of him, stopping him. Douglas was a hot young lion as a pro, great prospect, but his people threw him in with Herol Graham far too quickly... the Benn-Douglas fights were explosive and exciting, Benn was battered badly after the first one. Ricky Hatton was knocked out by current WBC #2 or #3 super-middleweight contender Jurgen Brahmer. Brahmer also beat Felix Sturm (Sturm beat Jermain Taylor). Joe Calzaghe stopped future pro world champion's Glenn Catley and Jason Matthews and future pro European champion Dean Francis, in 1992 and 1993. He had a close fight with future pro prospect Matthew Smyth as an under-developed 18-year-old when Smyth was 20. Joe also out-pointed future pro world champion Otkay Urkal abroard.

Perfect article to go with the petition for Iceman to repalce Max Kellerman.
