Feck knows what i done there with the quoting system palook


Ive seen all they ones There by the Grace,cheers bud

[palooka]

You're as bad as me with the quoting

Trinidad v Blocker is a good one and Vargas, Joppy is a good one as well; Tito had a natural finishing instinct and crushing power - he's the one boxer my wife will watch without moaning - she says he doesn't mess about and just goes for the kill.

[TerribleTerry]

A classic I come back to time and time again

Wilfredo Gomez v Lupe Pintor

I,ve just put Gomez/Pintor on.....my mrs is wanting me turn it off at half 8 but i,ll get it done before bed

[littlepug]

MERCER V MORRISON, MOORER V COOPER, MCAULEY V BASSA, HODKINSON V VARGAS AND MOON V KONADU should do the trick !

[whiskey]

Cotto vs Torres

Mutley vs Anderson

Gomez vs Arthur

[keithmoonhangover]

Some oddballs that are great viewing, but hard to find.

Greg Page vs Mark Wills II - the best single punch knockout I've ever seen.
Jimmy Ellis (the white dude that fought comeback Foreman) vs Don Askew.
Bobby Crabtree vs King Ipitan.

[Final round]

There is a good auction site which is full of career sets etc but a safe bet is to buy yourself the RING FOTY's DVD's.

[The Law]

Chacon v Limon 4 is a must watch.

[Taansend]

The Zale Graziano trilogy.

[handsofstone]

Superb stuff lads ta

[Bodyshot3]

A very personal top ten.....enjoy

Nelson v Fenech 1
Calzaghe v Lacy
Douglas v Tyson
Andries v Harding I
Lewis v Mercer
Foreman v Moorer
Benn v The G Man.....a bit controversial.
Toney v Jirov
Hagler v Mugabi
Froch v Taylor

[Sklar]

Foreman vs Lyle

[handsofstone]

Just finished watching Wilfredo Gomez v Lupe Pintor

That finishing left hook from Gomez was as sweet as you'll see

Cheers palooka

[WelshJack]

Mitchell v Murray is always good fun to watch.

[The Law]

You can't go wrong with pretty much any Matthew Saad Muhammad fight (e.g. Johnson 1, Lopez 1, Lopez 2, Johnson 2, Kates, etc).

Also the Israel Vázquez v Rafael Márquez trilogy is immense. In fact I preferred it to the Barrera v Morales trilogy, which is also a must watch.

My favourite fight ever is still Chacon v Limon 4 with Pintor v Gomez also in my top 5. Some great suggestions in this thread.

[tommo100]

chavez vs taylor
honeyghan vs curry
mcauley vs bassa (the first fight)
duran vs barkley
eubank vs benn
gatti vs ward
calzaghe vs lacy
Freddie flintoff vs that American bloke

[IrishGuy]

Lot of good fights mentioned, i'd have to add

Holyfield vs Bowe I
Pryor vs Arguello I

I've always been a fan of watching the first Cotto-Margarito fight as well

[stevieb_8006]

no love for ward vs gatti?

I like the Andries vs Harding trilogy.

[Jakemilo]

Holyfield v Quai
Duran v Srl 1
Jcc v Taylor

[earsjohn]

Impossible to narrow down to a shortlist, as it changes depending on the direction of the wind, but the ones I come back to.....

Bowe - Holyfield 1 - When Heavyweights were athletic, powerful, skilled and ballsy
Castillo - Corrales 1 - Unbelievable action throughout and an extraordinary finish
Gatti - Ward 1 - Round 9 makes my hairs stand up just thinking about it..."You can stop it any time, Frank"
Leonard - Hearns 1 - Two outstanding talents at the peak of their powers.
Moore - Macklin - Two born fighters giving no ground in probablt the best domestic fight of the last 10 years
Benn - Eubank - Watson -The 5 fights between these closely matched UK middleweights were hugely competitive, laced with real needle and highly entertaining. Defined a generation of UK fight action

Others worthy of a mention (and ignoring the obvious like Morales-Barrera, etc) include Herol Graham v Julian Jackson, Lennox Lewis v Razor Ruddock, Terry Norris v Simon Brown, Johnny Tapia v Paulie Ayala 1, Barry McGuigan v Eusebio Pedroza, Wayne McCullogh v Erik Morales, Aaron Pryor v Alexis Arguello, Graham Earl v Michael Katsidis, Edwin Valero v Vincente Mosquera....
