- - Big scalps for the Hungarians and Papp in the day.

Only spin is coming from you unraveling at the speed of light. What grade you gonna end up in?

No big scalps for Papp ,and just 1 ranked contender on his belt.
Luis Folledo ,who spent half his career punching non-descript welters in Spain,being defeated every time he ventured abroad and attempted to go up in class.
What was Folledo's best win?
Some of the contenders Papp missed would include;
Fullmer
Pender
Tiger
Downes
Visintin
Mazzinghi
Benvenuti
Harrington
Fernandez
Hank
Brennan
Archer
Torres
Benton
Giambra
Giardello* He apparently wanted this one
Moyer
Bahama

- - Couldn't fight ignos like you nor the Nuclear Cold War that not only limited his career, but killed it prematurely.

Some of your other copious other FAILS are too numerous to count.

Except they are not considered big scalps at all nor should they be.

You can attempt to spin it and wrap it up as nicely as you want the fact of the matter if you are attempting to praise a fighter for beating someone who had won 1 of his last 6 fights.

Simple as that.

- - Big bald scalps for the Russians and Swiss.

It's like your permanently stuck in first grade reading classes.

László Papp was a top middleweight boxer from Hungary, during the late 1950's and early 1960's. He was a three-time Olympic Gold Medalist, winning the medals in the 1948, 1952 and 1956 Olympic Games. In his last fight at the Olympics, he defeated the future light heavyweight world champion and hall of famer José Torres.

Standing at only 5'5" and fighting in the southpaw stance, he held wins over many solid contenders. They included Mick Leahy, Luis Folledo, Giancarlo Garbelli, Ralph Jones and Peter Mueller.

After defeating Mick Leahy in his final fight (which was for the EBU (European) middleweight title), it looked like he was going to get a world title shot against Joey Giardello. However, the Hungarian government refused to allow him an exit visa to fight for the title abroad. The reason for this was that professional boxing was not permitted in Communist Hungary and the government resented Papp's successful by-passing of the restriction by staging his fights abroad.

He retired with a record of 27-0-2.

Who knows what would've happened with Papp. He showed great promise and looked like he could've been a true middleweight star.

In 1989, WBC President Jose Sulaiman gave Papp an award for 'Best amateur and professional boxer of all time' and granted him honorary champion status of the World Boxing Council.

In 2001, he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

I guess he was one of those fighters where you could've wondered "what if..".

We know all this,what Sulamain does has zero to do with Papp only fighting ONE ranked contender in his career. He was 38 going on 39 when he was forcibly retired I don't rate his chances against Giardello as very good at that stage of his career,I watched his fights onTV he was an aggressive ,hooking fighter, but no paragon.

Childish insults, that have no relevance to the subject, your usual response to cover a serious lack of knowledge.
BTW Torres was a green novice when he lost in the Melbourne Olympics to127 fight Papp.
Papp was an amateur in name only ,he was sponsored by his communist government,very similar to the Cuban "amateurs".


Please do list all my fails,I'd very much like to see them!

I've met loads like you on forums Queenie,you don't care about being blown out of the water after every post you make.

You don't care about having your fairy tales exposed with hard ,irrefutable facts.

You never make the slightest attempt to provide even a shred of evidence to bask up your imaginings.

All you care about is typing some crap and seeing your username next to it,that and receiving some of that attention,which you so desperately crave.
God Bless You.You poor benighted saddo you are harmless enough.
