Memorable world-famous boxing matches

" I lost to the white man Jasper Pilard to get back to America. I wasn't knocked down. I was lying down with my hands covering my face from the sun. White people hated me at that time," said former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, who made a shocking revelation about his fight, which sent shockwaves through the boxing world.

Jack Johnson was a famous heavyweight boxing champion. He was hated by white fans for his ability to beat white boxers one-on-one, then turn to the audience and show off his gold teeth.

" I can't just hang around with these out-of-the-box criminals and my champion Floyd. Let a level 1 challenger come this way, I can't fight him. We're going to fight real fighters," Floyd Patterson's manager, Cardi D'Amato, publicly declared when he was crowned world heavyweight champion.

The human giant Sonny Liston, who had defeated all the top contenders to take the championship crown from Patterson, had arrived at the No. 1 spot and was demanding the crown, declaring that he could not be defeated by champion Patterson.

Charles Sonny Liston, nicknamed the Giant Man (or) the Bear, was a notorious outlaw whose circle, especially his handlers, were underworld kingpins. The Patterson gang had avoided Sonny Liston for years, citing this fact.

Boxing is the second most popular sport in the world after football. Boxing is a sport that involves punches and kicks, and it has the power to capture the attention of fans. Especially... Professional boxing is a sport that is very popular with fans all over the world. World heavyweight boxing tournaments have earned millions of dollars, and boxers have become millionaires.

Professional boxing is popular in the United States and has become popular throughout Europe. It is also widely popular in South America, Central America, Asia and Africa. In fact, professional boxing and the United States are inextricably linked. Professional boxers who have emerged from the United States have become famous in the world of boxing and have even won world championships.

The success of professional boxing in the United States was largely due to the wealth of sponsors and fans, not to the fact that black fighters were more skilled in the sport. Among American boxers, white boxers have not achieved the same level of success as black fighters. The success of black fighters in the world of boxing is due to the fact that black people have always been oppressed by the American system. Black people have chosen boxing as their only outlet for success because they have not found a way to overcome white people.

Among those who have won the world heavyweight championship, the white champions have become famous only because they have been written about in a way that is obscenely flattering. In fact, the quality and standard of white heavyweights are far below that of black fighters. Among the white heavyweight champions, the most famous are Judd Dempsey, Gene Tanney, and Rocky Marciano. Their popularity is due to their willingness to use their people as weapons to fight against black domination, and to the writing that they have done to exploit them.

Rocky Marciano was praised as the undefeated heavyweight champion who retired. Marciano is often used as a metaphor in any description. If Rocky had been a black man instead of a white man, he would have ended up as a regular heavyweight champion. If you study the world of heavyweight boxing closely, you will see that only three black boxers have been the most talented and successful boxers to date.

Among the heavyweight boxing champions, the only boxers with the greatest boxing skills and abilities are Jack Johnson (1908-1915), Joe Lu (1937-1949), and Muhammad Ali (1946-1970, 1974-present). Only three of them fought against the most opponents with the greatest boxing skills and abilities.

Joe Luu retired undefeated and then, after struggling financially, returned to the ring for a week, losing to Rocky Marciano. While Joe Luu was champion, Rocky didn't even fight, but the age difference was a major factor. Similarly, Joe Walcott, who Rocky defeated, had been fighting since Joe Luu's time (before World War II) and was almost 15 years older than Rocky.

The light heavyweight division, one weight lower than heavyweight boxing, is the most popular and popular boxing division. Notable champions in the light heavyweight division include the great Archie Moore and the recently retired Bob Foster.

Billy Conn (1939-41), a former light heavyweight champion, is best known for his speed against Joe Lu. Billy Conn became famous for his challenge to the heavyweight division and his knockout of the champion Joe Lu. Archie Moore was the longest-serving heavyweight champion and a frequent contender for the heavyweight crown.

One fighter who has won the world light heavyweight title by moving up a division is Nigerian Dittiger. Dittiger was a middleweight champion who moved up a division from welterweight to become light heavyweight champion. The only champions who have been famous in the welterweight and middleweight divisions are fighters. Another welterweight and middleweight champion who has been famous like the heavyweight champions is the great fighter Sugar Ray Robinson.

Notable world champions at welterweight include Henry Strong (1938–40), Carmen Barcelo (1955–57), Cuban boxer Benny (Kit) Pratt (1960–61–62), and boxer Emile Griffith (1961–62–63–66). Barcelo and Griffith were also middleweight champions.

At middleweight, Gary Robinson was the most successful and famous, and among white champions, only Gene Fulmer and Paul Pinder were successful. White champions Tony Zile and Rocky Graziano also had some success. At lightweight, only Captain Joe Brown and Ismael Laguna were successful.

In the featherweight division, only the famous welterweight and lightweight champions, Henry Armstrong, Kip Bussell, and Demi Moore, were successful. The white men were not as talented as they were.

At bantamweight, only two famous boxers have achieved the most wins: Brazilian Alda Jofer (1961-65) and American Manuel Ortiz (1942-47-50). At flyweight, only Argentinean Pascual Perez (1954-60), Thai Pong Khin Patch (1960-62-63-64-65) and Chatchai Chinnoy (1966-69) have achieved the most wins.

About memorable world-famous boxing matches

Boxing is a sport that is very popular in Myanmar, especially in the heavyweight division.

More than 20 years ago, foreign film theaters in downtown Yangon, such as the Pleiades (now Papawin) and Excelsior (now Wazir) used to screen newsreels featuring boxing legends such as Marciano, Walcott, Archie Moore, and Charles, which were popular.

Today, with Ali's impressive performances, Myanmar is even more interested. Originally, we planned to feature great fights fought by boxing champions. In reality, we could only feature great fights fought by the best boxers.

This book mostly features the best fights and biographies of heavyweight champions. The only non-heavyweight champion included is Ray Robinson. Originally, Archie Moore, Ditty Tiger, and Johan were included, but were left out due to space constraints.

However, Archie Moore and Johansson's boxing photos were mostly about Ju Lu, Rocky Marciano, and Patterson. In addition, there was a need to rewrite the earlier Muhammad Ali manuscripts, instead of using them.

My brother bought Muhammad Ali's book, The Greatest - My Own Story, published in May 1976, in early July, and I had to rewrite Ali's boxing and his story.

It is also known that some of the information previously known about Ali is completely different from the information in this book. It is extracted from the new book for the readers to taste. If Ali were to be described in detail in the book, it would be two books.

If the situation allows, I will write about the great fights fought by top boxing champions such as Jaedam Si, Archie Moe, Dit Tiger, Griffith, Ponkin Patch (Thailand), etc.

In this book, the great boxing fights are described separately, not including the Patterson-Liston, Ali-Frazier, Foreman-Frazier, and Ali-Foreman fights, so as not to overlap.

This book is based on the book (In the Corner of the Ring) by Peter Hella, and is based on the biography of Joe Luu, the books of Rocky Marciano's autobiography, and Letwei Magazine (1953-1976).

If readers are happy with the big boxing matches fought by world-famous boxing kings, I'm happy.
