Fight Weekend is Here ...Looking Back at the Great Middleweight Championship Fights

[-PBP-]

pavlik - taylor was a classic.


i still think pavlik - miranda, which was an eliminator for a shot at the lineal title that JT held, was the better fight. scary, scary damage taken by both guys. holy f#ck did miranda get beat up at the end of that fight. smoger needs to learn to pull the trigger on a stoppage quicker than that.

Or Arthur Abraham/Edison Miranda where he fought with a broken jaw.

Duran vs Barkley. One i've rewatched often down the years :

barkley was a big, strong dude. seeing duran taking his gas and hurting him at f#cking middlweight is a sight to see.

[New England]

Or Arthur Abraham/Edison Miranda where he fought with a broken jaw.

another very good one. big punchers, those two.

abraham has brass balls.

Ref was garbage there at the end. Nunn shouldn't have taken the punishment he did after getting knocked down.

Hagler vs. Mugabi. Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet.

I don't think it was better because it was so one sided. I think that fight ruined Miranda his punch resistance went to **** after that and he seemed to have a decent chin before that. Ended the Miranda hype too. I remember it was kinda a big deal that he got the Hopkins endorsement of being the next middleweight king. I wonder how Taylor vs Miranda would have been like if the Pavlik fight never happened.
