[brilo33]

Hagler v minter. looks like a lot of steve collins fight. i have watched a lot of collins fights watching them back very under rated as a boxer,as he was just billed as a chin, he was a good boxer,2 weight champion

Hagler v minter

We've only just had a Minter fight though, so I think that we should wait a while until we have another one.

[Counter-puncher]

If Conteh hasn't yet appeared on the thread I think he should; and its an excellent fight

[Counter-puncher]

The ahumada fight, that is.

[Taki...]

Not enough of The Cat on that list.
Thompson/Eubank 1 & 2.
Thompson/Rothmann.
Sellers/Thompson.

Week 18's fight - Barry McGuigan vs Eusebio Pedroza: http://boxrec.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=200363

There was no consultation for that one. I just had to post something before the end of the week and that seemed like an obvious fight to pick.

I've been a bit rubbish with this lately. I'll try to amend that.

How about Bruno v Witherspoon or McGuigan v Cruz?

[Horse]

How about Bruno v Witherspoon or McGuigan v Cruz?

We've already shown Bruno and McGuigan.

I'd rather not start showing multiple fights from boxers until we've gone through more of the fighters that we haven't shown yet first.

Maybe we can show one of those later in the year.

I think that Henry Cooper vs Muhammad Ali I should be this week's fight.

[Rexob]

I think that Henry Cooper vs Muhammad Ali I should be this week's fight.

It's been done so many times, what about,

Muhammad Ali - Brian London. 1966 08 06

[Horse]

It's been done so many times, what about,

Muhammad Ali - Brian London. 1966 08 06

Because that fight is below the current standards of this challenge.

A lot of the fights that will be chosen are obvious choices, there's nothing wrong with that.

Ali put on a masterclass in that fight, watching that last peppering combo he gave London, is worthy of any list and you will gain knowledge of what a true great heavyweight is all about.
