I am generally not a fan of the wee guys...….
...…. but Dave McAuley and Fidel Bassa had two exceptional, blood and thunder flyweight title fights.
The second is better but only just because they caned each other in their first encounter.
Still amazed that McAuley came out of those wars with Bassa and had a good run as the IBF champion.
The first fight was something else.

Ruben Olivares had a couple of re-matches better than the originals when he fought Kanazawa a second time and his second fight with Chucho Castillo. The Kanazawa re-match in particular as the first was a second round KO, the second was a Gomez-Pintor level brawl with incredible drama.

Zale -Graziano

I think I'm partial to the first fight.
Monzon vs Valdez II is my vote.

I hate to say this because:
#1 I was in person at fight one and
# 2 I am Puerto Rican and the Puerto Rican guy lost fight two, but....
Ramirez-Rosario 2 was way better than Rosario-Ramirez 1.
Bramble-Mancini 2, arguably however...
Dokes-Weaver 2 was an excellent fight that went 15 instead of one...
You could say Marquez-Pacquia 4 outdid the other three...
Oh and Pacquiao-Morales 2.
Great shout, very underrated brawl, amazing that it went 15 rounds at a good pace.
Yeah good fight, too bad Weaver got shafted.

Monzon v Valdez. #2 was much more dramatic than #1.

The first fight was actually pretty good except for the decision. Ossie got hosed.

Yeah, caught a little of it way back. Ossie did catch Michael with a couple of strong shots late.

For the 90 seconds it lasted, it was a frenetic pace. Issue couldn't handle Michael's speed glow. May be the fastest I have seen Michael.

Ali v Frazier 3. An obvious choice but got to be the Thrilla given that it topped even the Fight Of The Century.
NO way

I thought their first fight was better.
Monzon/Valdez II outdid the first fight.
