Biggest hypocrisy of boxing fans regarding old school vs new school

Just one more point about SRR his 91 fight unbeaten streak ended when he lost a 15 round decision to Randy Turpin. That was SRR's 7 fight in 7 weeks. He had went to europe 7 weeks earlier and had fought and beaten every top contender all over europe.

He actually lost one of those fights by DQ but had the result overturned.

Why was he dq'd and why was it overturned?

You can watch the fight online. The german guy took a dive cos he was getting the shit beaten out of him in germany. Gerhard Hecht was his name and he weighed in 5 pounds over the middleweight limit. He would later win a european light heavy weight and fought for a heavyweight title.

He did technically foul the guy. I agree it was nonsense, though.
