I started listing them down for a blog. Not that I would call myself a writer, but I thought some of you might enjoy it.

I could honestly read that all day if time permitted, Saad --- truly. Just so many great fights, & I was interested to read your description of several, both those I've seen, & those I've not.

"This was Michael's (Moorer) first Heavyweight test after a dominant --- but now over-rated --- run at Light-Heavyweight..."



Never your head-strong opinion far away.

Nice work Saad, look forward to reading more. Gets me thinking about my top ten.

Glad to see Meza/Garz again.

Elmer will love the top-100 idea, too D

No, didn't really enjoy it at all to be honest.

I couldn't do anything that wasn't based on opinions. That takes talent. It's all in good fun.

Tip o' the Stetson for your efforts here. Surprisingly I find myself in agreement with you regarding both Witherspoon and Collazo's performances on those nights.

nice. i like the comment on the ref for Collazo - Berto. and about a fit motivated 'spoon.

if Palomino - Benitez is 'only' in the 90s, i am guessing this will be a real good selection.

I love the way Saad expresses himself.

He writes like an Uncle of mine speaks. I wonder if sadd also has high blood pressure.

The top 40 fighters piece he wrote was great too. The description of his excitement when Hearns came into the ring still stays with me.

I'll be following these...

I'd love to see Mugabi v Green again and find out just how accurate my memory is.

I seem to remember Green, who was supposed to be the next victim pointing at Mugabi before the opening bell and yelling "You goin down". In the 4th rd, I think he caught Mugabi with a couple of left hooks and had him out on his feet. The fight looked like it was going to be an upset stoppage, but I think Mugabi was saved by the bell. The Beast rallied and took control in the second half, but I also seem to remember thinking (and I could be wrong) that the stoppage in the final rd was premature.

Some fights I recall vividly without seeing them for years. That isn't one of them. Like I said, it's all in good fun. I'm more comfortable putting it on the list than I am recalling details.

You might make Saad's top ten list for random and unecessary A-Hole comments.

No way, that cracked me up. I seriously laughed out loud.

I know I'm laughing at JRC's comment

Keep it flowing BTW, Saad.

Fine, I will make the list for you. Easily top 10

Keep them coming though. I have a fight that is one of my favorites and usually doesn't get mentioned. I want to see if it hits your list.

Thanks Barry, not sure how I pulled that off.

ray mancini was allways in good fights :!: old boom boom
