tillylamp 1,940 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 he was a brilliant fighter, his nickname was, hands of stone, because he preferred to fight bare knuckle rather than with gloves, he also owned a stretch of a beach in panama and if anybody went on it he would fight them.

darbo 4,779 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I think he was a unbelivable fighter only lost once in something like 72 fights till the rematch with leonard. loved the fight with iran barclay when at 37 or so won the middle weight title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TAXI DRIVER 551 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 My alltime favourite KO was when Tommy Hearns KO`d Duran in 83(or 84).Anyone put it up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
