Dynamic Duo was a fight promotion company... they co-promoted Tyson vs Bonecrusher.

For SalSanchez: Rappaport & Jones were the 'Psycho Twins'

Correct! In 1987's title fight between Matthew Hilton and Buster Drayton, Hilton won a hard-fought fight by decision to take Drayton's world title belt.

Which boxer was 5 years european light heavy weight champ , and lost his title to a guy called Caramanolis.......

[TBooze]

Jacobs and Cayton?

No...

[Sam Dixon]

I believe Don King & Butch Lewis called themselves the "Dynamic Duo" when prmoting that heavyweight unification tournament, so if I was to venture a guess on that particular question, that would be it.

Nope. He called him a midget.


He said "...I'm fighting a midget..." then Hagler took the stand and said "...well you a freak. Thats right. You a freak..."

[la-califa]

Leon Spinks. But that was in 1978.

Correct, But Actually I was thinking of Davey Moore. Jr. Middleweight Champion. I believe he beat Tadishi Mihara for the title & lost it to Roberto Duran in Madison Square Garden.

I can see where you are coming from, but he was never a World titlist, hell he was never even an Area Champ, he only had four fights, but he still went into British Boxing history in one of our more darker moments...
