At one point, the heavyweight championship was the most-coveted title in mainstream sports. Management teams and promoters are often inspired to take shortcuts, or at least unconventional paths, to lead a fighter to something nearing the heavyweight title.
On this episode, we briefly talk about Anthony Joshua's clash with Francis Ngannou, but spend the bulk of the episode recalling other heavyweights from history who were fast-tracked.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, the fight historian 1-2 of Patrick Connor and Aris Pina tackle the issue and offer (ahem) the absolutely most definitive answers possible.

Few fights define almost everything great about boxing the way Diego Corrales wild victory over José Luis Castillo did. When it comes to fights reaching peak insanity, Corrales-Castillo is basically still the standard 20 years later.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler remember both fights between Diego Corrales and José Luis Castillo, and even the canceled third bout, but mostly the ridiculous first fight.

Floyd Mayweather is one of the biggest boxing stars of all time, so naturally there will be more scrutiny of his career than others. It may be somewhat unfair, but it also makes sense.
His two fights with Marcos Maidana are often cited as two of the most difficult of his entire career, and on this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler re-watch and re-score the two Mayweather-Maidana bouts.
