I'd go with Oliver McCall but have not seen many Orlin Norris bouts and don't feel the motivation to watch them either :wink:

Carmen basilio

His great performance in the first fight with his hated rival, Sugar Ray Robinson. If he had got the win in the second fight with that eye injury early on it would have been his best.

its a toss up between his win over a young ezzard Charles and his first fight with archie moore - I'm going with the moore win as he was not expected to bust archie up like he did but its a close call.

Ambers is a fantastic win, but the one for the featherweight title over Armstrong is hard to beat. For some reason I've got a feeling that was only for like three states'-worth of a world title, but can't be bothered to look it up.
