The Palace in Detroit, former heavyweight king Mike Tyson scored a quick TKO over the notoriously unstable Andrew Golota, but the win, which came when Golota refused to begin the third round, was later changed to a No-Contest due to Tyson failing a post-fight drugs test.

Yeah Arguello is up there. Joe Gans too. corrales prime was a beast. I was gonna say Freitas but I don't think he had many fights at lightweight
Massive step up for Shakur
Featherweight Shakur Stevenson (10-0, 6 KOs), one of boxing’s best prospects, is poised to take a major step up in competition April 20 on the Terence Crawford-Amir Khan ESPN PPV card. A deal is being finalized for Stevenson, 21, of Newark, N.J., to face Puerto Rico's Christopher Diaz (24-1, 16 KOs), 24, whose only loss came by decision to Masayuki Ito in July for a vacant junior lightweight title, sources with knowledge of the plans told ESPN. Diaz, who dropped down in weight and won his only fight since, was slated to face Jessie Magdaleno on March 17 on ESPN+, but took the Stevenson fight when Top Rank offered him more money. Magdaleno (25-1, 18 KOs) may instead face fellow ex-junior featherweight titlist Rico Ramos (30-5, 14 KOs) in a featherweight bout March 17.

very big step up...diaz is only 2 fights removed from failing to become world champion..with that being said diaz, in a hell of fight, did lose pretty clearly to that crude jap lol..so i say 50-50
magdaleno though prolly needs to be careful with ramos...ramos does have a one hitter quitter on him

This is interesting because this was 3 month before Barrera beat Naseem. Would have been interesting to see because Floyd was much taller than him. Funny how things turn out

How far does Usyk go at heavy? I feel like skill wise he be head and shoulders above most of em and would be a favorite apart from the Big 3. I dunno how his power and punch resistance would hold up but I see him going far honestly.

Do Better.
Really depends on how he can take a punch.
I know it was at Cruiser, but Bellew was tagging more than I liked and he was eating it well but than again he isn’t that much of a huge puncher. If he fights an Ortiz or Povetkin though their old as shyt , that would a true testament to his punch resistance

Yeah I think Povetkin is returning soon so that will be a good test for him. His slow starts and eating punches is what worries me but when he gets into gear he'll be a prob for anyone imo
