Adios, thanks and enjoy this fight.

Basilio v De Marco 1
Stracey v Napoles

SRL Vs Hearns 1981

SRL KO14 Hearns
Duran UD15 SRL
SRL RSC8 Duran

I mean this with respect; Griffith v Paret 3.

Honeyghan v Curry
JCC v Whitiker
Benitez Palimino
SRL v Benitez

Just a quick addition...a Bunce rule or two..
Not fantasy, all fights need to have taken place and just ONE! Well, one main one!!!
I can tell this is going to be a solid few hours. Well done.

Adios.

Mosley Vs Margarito was a decent recent one, surprised a few people.

If you struggle for your 30 Buncey don't be afraid to throw in Khaliq Vs Bergman for the IBO. Khaliq goes to Africa and triumphs in a five knockdown thriller

Leonard-Hearns was a great fight so was Cotto-Margarito a magic war and then when I thought Cotto was running a way with it back comes Marg

SRR v Kid Gavilan
SRR v Tommy Bell
Kid Gavilan v Basillo

Mosley v DLH l - might make the top 30.

Cotto-Margarito has to be up there! Even if it has been some-what over-shadowed by news of suspicious handswraps!

John H. Stracey v Jose Napoles - a great fight for Brits, anyway.

EDIT: Sorry, Emerson had already selected this one.

Simon Brown v 'The Thin Man' Maurice Blocker: Best friends fight like blood thirsty savages.

Tommy Hearns v Pipino Cuevas - exciting while it lasted.

DLH v Trinidad - for the anticipation of seeing 2 undefeated champions and modern-day greats face each other. Even though the fight ultimately failed to deliver, it was a great "event".

tbh its very hard to get 30 great great fights. If the bar wasnt as high i would definately stick down.

De la hoya - pacquaio = not because this was an amazing fight. Just because it was almost billed as a freak show and had a lot of people intrigued that wouldnt normally be watching a fight and not many people predicted the outcome.

de la hoya - mayweather = again a huge fight between two modern day greats. dont get me wrong this wasnt the greatest fight in the world but both boxers had their success at various points to make it interesting, It done stupid amounts ppv too.

cotto - margarito - now this is one of my faves of the last few years. A fight of two halves. All cotto the first then all margo in the second. Would like to see a rematch sometime down the road. (hopefully without loaded gloves this time)

I didnt know journalism worked like this? lol

Napoles - Lopez, WBA in the 70s

De La Hoya v Quartey

I terms of build up, with the whole world watching, you have to say Leonard/Hearns 1.
But a close second, and maybe an even better fight, Duran/Leonard 1.

Oscar was often compared to Leonard, as another golden boy, but Ray really took on the "unbeatables" with those two. Plus all the rest.

I would say for me Hearns vs Leonard 1 was better than Duran vs Leonard 1.

Some other suggestions.

Maurice Blocker vs Simon Brown was a fantastic fight.

Hatton vs Collazo.

just some other suggestions.

Better than Brown v Trice??

It won't get into the top 30 , but you should all watch a copy of

Simon Brown v Tyrone Trice 1

One of the most awesome performances I've ever seen, the fight that hooked me on boxing. Hearns big test against the X Rated Mexican bone breaker, and he took him out in brutal & clinical style, barely breaking a sweat. I don't think he took a punch in return.
