Hmmm my history knowledge is patchy but I'll give it a go. I've probably forgotten some though.
Heavyweight Ali v Forman
Cruiser Carl Thomspon v Ezra Sellars
Light heavy not a weight I am well versed on historically but there was an insane fight between Travis Dickinson and Matty Clarkson on channel 5 which was mayhem
Super Middle: Froch Groves 1
Middle: Leonard v Hagler
Light Middle: Moore v Macklin or Moore v Jones 3
Welter: Broner v Maidana
Light Welter: Pryor v Arguello 1 or Khan v Maidana
Lightweight: Corrales v Castillo
Super Featherweight: Gomez v Arthur
Feather: Nazeem Hamed v Kelley,
Super Bantam: Morales v Barrera 1
Bantam: Yamanaka v Moreno 2
Super fly: Conlan v Nelson
Flyweight: not well schooled on this weight at all. I loved Yaegashi v Chocolatito. My first time watching Roman.
Light Fly: Watced Carvajal v humberto Gonzalez 1 was brilliant. Also loved Roman Gonzalez v Estrada.
Minimumweight: actually have a couple for this. The Ricardo Lopez v Rosendo Alvarez second fight is brilliant. A recent one got espy fight of the year not that long ago. Francisco Rodriguez v Takayama. It's on YouTube in hd. Crazy fight.

Re: Best fight per weight you've seen
Heavyweight- Bowe vs Holyfield 1
Cruiserweight- Toney vs Jirov
Light Heavyweight- Saad vs Lopez 2
I'll do more later, ive seen hundreds of classics but I'm not good at keeping tabs on what divisions, a lot of these guys are multiple weight champs and some fought trilogies over a few divisions
A lot of superb ones here
Super bantamweight has had some wars but Somsak vs Monshipour stands out, that fight has to be seen to be believed

Great call. It's like a LHW version of Alex Stewart - Ezra Sellers fight.crusader wrote:LHW: Sam Ahmad vs Elvir Muriqi
Hagler-Hearns has nothing on this bout from an entertainment perspective, and I'm not joking when I say that! Knockdowns and momentum swings galore packed into 3 amazing rounds. If you have only a minute, watch from about 1:40 to 2:55...

Re: Best fight per weight you've seen
Heavy - Ali vs Frazier I and III, Foreman vs Lyle, Holmes vs Norton, Holyfield vs Bowe (all three fights were great but especially the first one), Moorer vs Cooper, Bowe vs Golota II, Tua vs Ibeabuchi, Joshua vs Klitschko - greatest fights between top level fighters. Alex Stewart vs Ezra Sellers, Whyte vs Chisora, Breazeale vs Ugonoh, Jefferson vs Harris - greatest fights between lower lever fighters
Cruiser - Holyfield vs Qawi I. The best cruiserweight fight ever by far. In my opinion, the best fight ever in any weight. Also Thompson vs Sellers, Toney vs Jirov, Glowacki vs Huck

Re: Best fight per weight you've seen
Foreman Vs Lyle must be a decent call at heavyweight
Benn Vs McClellan is the fight that hooked me on boxing 25th Feb, me and my mates all watched it in a friend's bedroom drinking cans at 13 or 14. Great fight!
Gatti Vs Ivan Robinson 1 is another little belter!

Vasquez Vs Marquez 2 at bantamweight also 
Re: Best fight per weight you've seen
yep, think you're right to be fair mate. Feel people gloss over it as a fight though because of the outcome, but it was an incredible come from behind victory by Eubank when he seemed absolutely down and out....Ossyrules wrote:Nice picks.
