Hamed - Kelley
Lewis - Klitschko
Benn - Eubank I

Feck knows what i done there with the quoting system palook


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

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.

A classic I come back to time and time again

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

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

Cotto vs Torres

Mutley vs Anderson

Gomez vs Arthur

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.

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.

Chacon v Limon 4 is a must watch.

The Zale Graziano trilogy.

Superb stuff lads ta

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

Foreman vs Lyle

Just finished watching Wilfredo Gomez v Lupe Pintor

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

Cheers palooka

Mitchell v Murray is always good fun to watch.

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.

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

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

no love for ward vs gatti?

I like the Andries vs Harding trilogy.

Holyfield v Quai
Duran v Srl 1
Jcc v Taylor

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....
