Forgotten Fighters

The documentary was about the Cooney/Holmes hype, hence why they weren't mentioned.

aha ok

Oh and in terms of forgotten fighters, how about Chris Eubank, he doesn't seem to get much recognition outside of the UK and even here ppl like Hatton, Calzaghe and Lewis are mentioned above him.

That's sad cos in his prime he was one of the best fighters on the planet, he had more title fights than any other in British boxing history and at middleweight and super middle, he compares favourably with just about anyone.

Not to mention RJJ stating, "If there's any style that would have caused me problems, it would have been Eubank".

This guy isn't in the HOF yet McGuigan and Gatti are, what a joke

You're fairly new, and I'm sure if you do a forum search, you'll see Eubank's far from forgotten by most.

Maybe on this forum, but I mean in general. How often does he feature in boxing media discussions on best ever British fighters, they talk more about Calzaghe and Hatton than they do Eubanks, when Eubank may have been better than them both.

Two fighters that are rarely mentioned but never could be counted out, Daniel Zaragoza and Manuel Medina. Either could have easily gather multiple comeback of the year awards through out their careers.

Might have been mentioned before (did not check every post) - John "The Beast" Mugabi.

Anyone who's forgotten Mugabi shouldn't really be on the history section.. His fight with Hagler is simply unforgettable.. An absolute classic!
