Some great rematches already listed so far, well done lads.

Marvin Hagler vs. Sugar Ray Leonard
They live, We sleep
Duran vs Buchanan 2
Ken wanted it, Roberto did not
McGuigan vs Cruz 2 in UK
Iran Barkley vs Benn 2
As much of a fan as I am of Hagler and Leonard, their fight remains one of the most mystifying fights I've ever seen. And I don't necessarily mean that in a good way.
Buchanan absolutely deserved the rematch. I would've still favored Duran, though.
Tito is right there something very fishy about that fight have Marvin Hagler could not seem to pull the trigger. Why Marvin Hagler chose to fight Orthodox for the first six rounds instead of walk straight through him in the Southpaw stance is beyond mystifying
Hamed v Barrera - would love to see that (formerly) little punk get pounded again!
Didn't Leonard tell repeatedly tell Hagler that he could not outbox him?
I wonder if that was part of it.

The warrior who came out and in less than 3 rounds destroyed the lethal Tommy Hearns...... decides to pussyfoot around with Leonard, fighting righty and giving away rounds. Especially an old veteran who knew the ropes and how judges can turn in dodgy decisions. "Fishy" is kind of an understatement with me. Then he walks away from boxing, having never settled the score.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
That would have been a great one. Benn made me an instant Stateside fan there and thought he got a bad rap for 1st 'hitting him when down' which he actually didn't. The ref was moving in slow motion and totally unsure about stopping Iran on technical 3 kd rule. What a mini war!
