Terry D wrote:It is a changing thing. Like favourite songs. If I want out-and-out mad bastard swings in a fight I'd go for:

1: Shavers-Lyle (Lyle hurt early. Shavers then switched to back-foot boxing and won on points. Actually he doesn't, he attacks like a mad bastard and gets KO'd by the terrifying Lyle)

2: Daniel Edouard-Willie Gibbs (I like Edouard for some reason, possibly because he made Talyor look awesome. I like Gibbs as a fighter as well. Imagine how pleased I was to watch them knock the shit out of one another in a dramatic fight)

3: Caveman Lee- Frank 'The Animal' Fletcher/John LoCicero (Lee was a mad fighter. Only one win of his went the distance, only one loss was by decision. These two fights, plus his ill-fated title challenge, really sum-up the mad bastard career of Lee)

4: Sonny Liston-Cleveland Williams II (I'm a big Liston fan and it is a great bout. Some real bombs and shows what the pre-Clay Liston was all about, looking mean and being a rock-hard bastard)

5: Jamie Moore-Matthew Macklin (Great to be around the build-up, excellent fight and display by Moore. Macklin fighting like he was on E's. Both guys can laugh about it now and get along well)

Every Michael Dokes fight ever.

British ring stipulation, Terence! Aye, the last one in that list was a British cracker!

Michael Ayers vs Wayne Rigby 1

Errol Christie vs Mark Kaylor

Herol Graham vs Julian Jackson

Dave Mcauley vs Fidel Bassa (cracker!)

Michael Brodie vs Neil Swain

Carl Thompson vs Eubank 1, Rothmann

Mark Hobson vs Buster Keeton 1

Wayne Alexander vs Paul Samuels

Shea Neary vs Micky Ward / Andy Holligan

Nice one mate - I've already put my order in for my Dad's Christmas DVD so most of your selection will feature on 'Short Wars 2'!

Samuels v Alexander was a belter, I have that on a Lewis v someone VHS, was it Akinwande?
