Bakhram Murtazaliev mauling Tim Tszyu back in October of last year, defending his IBF super welterweight title.

I always hear how ''fighters aren't afraid!!'' or they they aren't the ones ducking. But I've got it on good authority that guys are turning down career-high paydays to face IBF 154-titlist, Bakrham Murtalaziev. Again, they game the system, too, don't kid yourself #boxing

Gatti was a HOF. I will die on that hill. Two real titles 10lbs apart. A decade long run as an action fighter. And about 8 of the best fights you will ever see. And this win right here cemented his status.
21 years ago, Arturo Gatti defeated Leonard Dorin by KO in round 2 of 12 to retain the WBC super lightweight title.

🔥 Usyk proved himself the best of his era by repeating wins over AJ and Fury. He's now smashed the top guy in the era behind him twice. Usyk is one of the best heavyweights of all time. Usyk is one of the best fighters of all time - period #UsykDubois2 #boxing 🇺🇦🥊🇬🇧

Sadly, the great Pernell Whitaker, the HOF four-division champion, former P4P king & Olympic gold medalist, died at age 55 when he was hit by a car six years ago today. Here's a program from his pro debut & his card from the 1999 Brown's set in my #boxing collection.

The legendary Arturo Gatti, my all-time favorite fighter, was only 37 when he sadly died 16 years ago today. Won world titles in two divisions, took part in numerous all-time great fights, worthy Hall of Famer. #RIP @Jmizzone @CarlMoretti @loudibella @Main_Events @patlynchboxing

Boxing has changed, and it’s sad! The best should fight the best, not look for an easy fight.
