was some great tactical fighting and some flashy dancing by tim witherspoon and there some great brawling rounds like 9th and 12th i think you would be shocked el gamo how good tim witherspoon was in that fight

Hmmmmm,interesting Ice,I'll have to check that. I really liked Moorer and Cooper,that was where there was a lot of knockdwons right?> Highly entertaining fight if I remember correctly.

Larry Holmes -vs- Tim Witherspon 1983

I think alot of Bhops fights are greatly underrated personally..

Depends what you like to watch really...

Everybody loves to see a war..
But i also love to see a great boxer go to work.. Bhop is in such great shape the whole time that he never needed to go looking for a ko cos he could do what he does all night and it shows down the long run..

Malignaggi fights..Alot of people diss paulie for not bieng a power puncher..
Im a big fan .. Good boxer very speedy.. A real character in and out the ring..
I think its mostly his opponents faults that his fights arent as exciting as others cos we know paulie can fight..And is there to fight.. Look at the cotto bout.. real entertaining cos cotto came to fight and is a great fighter.. However cherry couldnt do enough to snap out of bieng outboxed and just didnt make a fight of it..

Also many close fights are not so much underrated but unnapreciated ..
For instance Collazo - Hatton ..
I thought it was a real good quality fight thatwas overshadowed by a close decision and nobody tends to comment on how good the fight was..

Peace

I love watching alllllll types of fights,it does not necessarily have to be war.and I agree,B Hop is very very good to watch especially earlier in his career when he had a different nickname(I can't remember it though) and he used to just tear through opponents.

no prob el gamo also i thought of another one what about jirov vs james toney ??
