I agree to many fights and fighters to go unbeaten.

I'm sure there were alot of "muggings" considering the number of bench clearers that occured and the shear number of fights. There seems to be alot written on the Carlson/Fotiu fight. Many comments coming that Carlson had bloodied him and suckered him as well. According to many, he was considered the toughest dude in the WHA.
