    In the 1980 Olympics, we were denied a terrific matchup between Bumphus and Cuban star Angel Herrera, due to the US boycott of the games.

    Hatcher’s come-from-behind win over Bumphus pictures boxing when it is at its best. Like a soccer team trailing by 0-2, before scoring three goals in the 90th minute.
    Yeah but I bet if soccer had a clock counting down, Americans would watch it more. Too confusing for us. As it is, we only tend to watch when our teams do well.

      Henry Cooper long forgotten. Ike Ibeabuchi who should be forgotten.

        Crazy how Ibeabuchi gets brought up all the time and he only got two significant wins over two top contenders. Never went any further.

          True my brother. Aaron Pryor has one big win and some say he is a ATG.

            Very good fighter in his day, but some people exaggerate the facts

              - - If any hoopla, seems Puerto Rico would be the place for it.
