Ferguson was probably the most Experienced heavyweight boxer of the day back then. He sparred and fought everyone. The amount of world championship he fought was pretty insane if you look at his record. He is the quintessential sparring partner mentality
RIP Mike Dokes. A huge talent whose lifestyle outside the ring prevented him from real greatness. In his prime he was the quickest heavywright of all time
Ironically , BOTH these fine fighters would , in the following year ( 1993 ), receive big title shots against then heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe ! 🥊
