    yeah, it's about being in the right place at the right time, i really think i could have beaten tyson that day, ofcourse only after he injured himself and could hardly stand in the 1st round. Tyson showed alot of heart that fight, he knew he couldn't loose to danny, so he tried to stand in there and knock him out. tyson wasn't out, he just knew he couldn't continue with 1 leg.

          Yeah, I completly agree, in my opinion Danny Williams just got lucky ... very lucky. It has earned him some serious paydays.

            Vassily Jirov has found one fan. i wish he wasn't rated so low in the heavys. Personally i have high hopes for him to make more of a name for himself. Hopefully beating some key names in this so so division at the moment.

              Kassim Ouma
              Vivian Harris

              These two come to mind first. Maybe Casamayor a little too.

                  I think so too. Along with Holmes who is often forgotten whenever Marciano is mentioned. Holmes matched Rocky's record and was about to make it better, when Michael Spinks derailed him.

                  Of the current crop, Tszyu, I think is undervalued. He has so long dominated a talent-rich division but never got/gets the recognition equal to such a feat.

                  Then there's a totally forgotten one: Mexican sensation Ricardo Moreno, who had promoters scampering for entertainers (singers) to fill in time: Moreno's all of but 3 of 73 fights ended early!

                  For all you trivia buffs out there:

                  Ricardo Moreno, also dubbed "Pajarito", fought between the years 1954-1967. He retired with a record of 60 wins (59 KOs! and 1 win by DQ4)- 12 losses and 1 Draw. He was KOd in 9 of his losses; the only decision losses he had were against Nacho Escalante, Meno Diez and Kid Irapuato, all of those fairly early in his career. He had a solitary bid for a world title--Featherweight--but was KOd in 3 by Hogan (Kid) Bassey. Many of his losses came at the tail-end of his career, prompting the question, why wasn't he given more shots at the title? Oh, well, boxing politics, then and now... Pajarito died at the age of 41 in 1978.
