it just wasnt meant to be for davis he had quite a few chances to be a champ but just couldnt get over the hump . but just think he beat thomas hearns, hilmer kenty, and aaron pryor all in the same olympic trails. great amateur. but as a pro a good contender

@Rasclot222 Hes a legend though..

The last scheduled 15-round fight? I always thought the last 15-round fight ever was between Evander Holyfield and Dwight Muhammad Qawi (nee Braxton) for the WBA Crusierweight Title.

Aaron Pryor used to beat the shit out Howard Davis in sparring sessions.
-
I hated that Howard had to lose to Jim Watt.If the Rosario fight was a 15 rounder, Howard would've beaten Edwin.

This was towards the end of Howard's career and you can tell he wasn't into it. He had a lot of issues with Management and was going through some stuff. He has rebounded in retirement with MMA as the top guy in stand-up. Howard Davis Jr. is a legend and we should be so lucky to watch his previous work!

Great fight too!
-
Howard is the man. I met him before, he trains a friend of mine... one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He lost heart because of the corruption and politics in the sport.
-
Quite ironic the so-called last 15 rnds fight ended in the first rnd....

Yes,fastest hands I have ever seen.
Hey Dan , Howard was one of my favorite fighters.I was really hurt when he did not beat Jim Watt,and a little dissapointed when he got knocked down by Rosario in the final round to lose a razor thin descision! A lot of people forget that he put the first blemish on Meldrick Taylors record when they fought to a draw.Meldrick was the up-coming Olympic boxer just like Howard used to be at the time. Howards hands were faster which was new for Taylor!

McGirt was very sharp in this fight. This may be his best (besides the Simon Brown fitht). I wish Howard Davis made it more as a professional. He was one of the best amateurs of all time. Amazing hand speed.
