Hi all, I’m looking for some good 70s & 80s fights other than these ones:

70s) Ali V Frazier/ Frazier V Foreman / Ali V Frazier II / Ali V Foreman / Ali V Frazier III / Frazier V Foreman II.

80s) Ali V Holmes / Tyson V Holmes / Tyson V Bruno.

Looking to expand my horizons some more, and generally looking for good fights in generally any area, however I’d prefer from the 70s & 80s.

Many thanks, OH.

Holmes/Norton is where I'd start. I'll be back with more.

Truly! Also Chacon's wars with Ruben Olivares!

My personal favorite fights that I consider to be the best of those era's would be the following :-

Aaron Pryor-Alexis Arguello I
Ruben Olivares-Kazuyoshi Kanazawa II
Matthew Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson I & II
Matthew Saad Muhammad-Yacqui Lopez II
Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns
Wilfred Gomez-Lupe Pintor
Bobby Chacon-Rafael Limon IV
Bobby Chacon-Cornelius Boza-Edwards II
Salvador Sanchez-Wilfredo Gomez
Ruben Olivares-Chucho Castillo I & II
Salvador Sanchez-Azumah Nelson
Evander Holyfield-Dwight Muhammad Qawi I
Sugar Ray Leonard-Thomas Hearns I
Roberto Duran-Sugar Ray Leonard I
Marvin Hagler-John Mugabi
Danny Lopez-Mike Ayala
Alexis Arguello-Ruben Olivares

All mentioned are certainly worth watching.

Here are some more:
Ken Norton-Jimmy Young
Ron Lyle-Earnie Shavers
Roy Williams-Earnie Shavers
Larry Holmes-Gerrie Cooney
Evander Holyfield-Michael Dokes

Ray Leonard-Marvin Hagler
Ray Leonard-Roberto Duran II
Thomas Hearns-Roberto Duran
Marvin Hagler-Roberto Duran
Marvin Hagler-Vito Antuofermo I
Rocky Lockridge-Tony Lopez
Eddie Mustapha Muhammad-Marvin Johnson
Salvador Sanchez-Wilfredo Gomez

Those are all great fights!

I remember seeing Duran v. Ray Lampkins on Wide World of Sports. It was a pretty decent fight with a Duran ending that made me a Duran fan for life. (I was young and impressionable)

Ali vs Shavers
Shavers vs Cobb
Quarry vs Lyle
Norton vs Cobb

You may be interested to know that he apparently has a son Roberto Duran Jr. that is fighting now. He just got a win over this past weekend. I didn't even know he had a son that was fighting until I saw the result posted.

Lord knows how many kids he actually may have. Thanks for sharing, I'll check him out.

F*cking great suggestions guys! Everything I had in mind was already said, but I'll just say I 2nd a lot of these picks.

Foreman vs Lyle and Chacon vs Limon IV are 2 of the greatest fights I've EVER seen. Those fights are Rated R baby! Violent as hell!

You know the drama of Round 10 of Bowe-Holyfield 1? Where Bowe has Holyfield all, but out on his feet but Holyfield rallies back to give him hell by the end of the round. Chacon vs Limon IV has about 12 rounds like that

He's only 2 fights in at the moment. His result from over the weekend was a 1st round KO win in his 2nd bout. To say he's got big shoes to fill would be an enormous understatement, but I'm a big fan of Duran Sr. so I'll be rooting for the kid.

He's 29 y/o so he's got a name and probably not much of a future.

Agree 100%, but not this 6th round KO. Green fought some up and comers (at that time), Mugabi; Donald Curry and others were better fights to watch. Green fought them all it seems.

Fletchers most epic fight was Jackson nothing good about curry/green.

Just pointing out bigger names who were relatively early in their careers.

It read like you said it was a better fight to watch, it wasn't.

Yes I did. So what? I enjoyed the 2 round KO.

No matter how much Green wanted out at the end.

Good for you. If I remember correctly it was a terrible flukish tko/quit stoppage. Definitely wasn't a ko.
