One hit wonders of boxing

[Barn]

Hardly a one hit wonder, he didn't just beat Curry and then fade he had a pretty decent career.



Nice one, although didn't the decision 'eventually' get changed too NC because Molinares hit Starling after the bell ?, ****ing Cortez. Starling was clearly winning the fight as well.

Do I look wobbled?

Yes it was changed to a NC and the bell had rung. But it wasn't a blatant foul. The bell rang and both fighters were throwing punches but Molinares's landed, knocking Starling out. But the ol' adage protect yourself at all times could apply. The result was changed to a NC and Molinares faded away. Starling went on the fight Honeyghan and the WBA in their infinite wisdom gave the belt back to Breland who fought for the vacant title.

Starling fought Nunn, Curry(2 times) Simon Brown, Breland(2 again) and Honeyghan and never was really hurt. But that one Molinares punch had him out. It was so bad in the interview after the fight he told Merchant he wasn't even down(the ref counted ten).

Robert Hines, who defeated Canadian Matthew Hilton, it would be interesting to see Hilton vs Julian Jackson.

Rolando Pascua, a record of 24-5 (8 KOs) stunned unbeaten mexican Humberto Gonzales, who was in line to fight Michael Carbajal next. It was 1990s second biggest upset of the year.

nah man it was very blatant. the bell rung and a good second afterwards molinares threw a punch that knocked starling out. the rule is if you start throwing a punch at or before the bell sounds its a legal shot regardless if it lands afterwards. molinares clearly threw after the bell, it was very blatant and could result in nothing other than a DQ.

protect yourself at all times always applies, for the sake of your health if nothing else. but the bottom line is it was a blatant foul and it rendered starling unable to continue, there are no excuses to be made it was as clear a DQ as theres ever been.

Does Randy Turpin qualify...

I'd say so

Has anyone said Bobby Joe Young? gave Pryor his only loss

Not even sure I'd call that a one hit wonder. Pryor was so shot and blind at that point Alexis Arguello begged him before the fight not to go through with it. Certainly his biggest win, but not really surprising given the circumstances.

Rubin Carter is NOT a one hit wonder.

Has wins over Griffith,Fernandez,Ellis and Benton.

Very solid resume.

Disagree. Johansson has solid wins other than the Patterson upset including a brutal kayo over the no. 1 ranked Eddie Machen and britains Best in Joe Erskine.

Do I look wobbled?

I wasn't even knocked down!
