oakey v davies.
steve robert's v scott dixon.

watson v eubanks was one of the best ever, but due to circumstances is swept under the carpet.

Some good calls.
What about Scott Dixon vs shit his name escapes me was the British Welter champion - bit of a chinny fighter.
Others.
Geoff McCreash vs Kevin Luishing.
Steve Robinson vs Paul Hokko Kodkinson.
Scott Harrison against that Peuto Rican (think it was the fight before Chacon). Sandiago or something like that.

Roach? Dixon was usually pretty exciting. The fight with Moore is a good one, I forget the others. They all merge into one after a while.

Katsidis - Earl, though a bit one sided for the most part was pretty good.

Talking about Katsidis, what about his fight with Casamayor? To me, it was amazing. Katsidis down and out in the 1st round, only to grit his teeth and knock Casamyor down and get himself in front, only for Katsidis to walk onto a absolute peach. A great ebb-and-flow fight.

Unless severely outclassed Katsidis will be in a few great fights yet as well. His style might not be the most polished but it makes for good viewing.

azumah nelson v jim mcdonnell was an excellent, tough fight.
brian mitchell's first fight - a controversial draw - with tony lopez was a superb boxing match.
no one raves about these fights, despite involving hall of famers in gruelling battles.
on the domestic side, how about the late james oyebola vs scott welch? i saw a FW compilation VHS from the mid '90s, lots of naz and benn, and saw highlights of the above heavyweight fights, which looked very exciting.

i'll have to rewatch it some time, don't recall much of the fight at all, apart from Lopez trying to box with Mitchell and getting quietly outworked
