Your top 5 favourite classic fights?

[WelshDevilRob]

Top 5 is alot tougher than it seems - as soon as I think of 5 a few more pop into my head.

Personal favourites in no particular order.

Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno - I was there in the crowd at Cardiff cheering on Lennox, the first fight I ever attended- the 1st World Heavyweight title fight between 2 Britons.

Lloyd Honeyghan vs Donald Curry - Upset and what a dominating performance by Honeyghan at Caesars Palace. The fight proved that nothing is certain when two men enter the ring.

George Foreman vs Ron Lyle - Not a fight of skill just a fight between two 'gunslingers' - Heavyweight boxing at it's most brutal

Thomas Hearns vs Roberto Duran - The right hand Hearns landed when Duran was on the ropes will stay in my memory forever - what a punch.

Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan - Watched this fight with the whole family as there was a party to celebrate my grandparents 50th Wedding anniversary.
A tragic, brutal fight that showed the heart needed to compete at the highest level and the sad consequences that sometimes happen in the sport we all love.

JCC vs. 'Chapo' Rosario - Great fight loved every second of it.
'Locomotora' Castro vs. 'Action' Jackson I - What a fight and I know it from begining to end but I still go crazy everytime I see it.
'El Flaco Explosivo' vs. 'El Puas' - One of the greates passing of the torches ever IMO, talk about a champ. who didn't wanna give it up
and talk about a hungry young fighter who wasn't going out without taking the belt.
'El Cholo' Duran vs. 'The Blade' Barkley - Roberto is the man, and this fight showed why for many years he was the most feared man in
boxing.
'Chava' Sanchez vs. 'Bazooka' Gomez - Possibly the greatest fight ever held at 130 and below. The caliber of the fighters, plus records,
plus titles, these 2 little guys fought their heart out that night.

Good pick on Chava v Bazooka. 40-1(31) v 32-0-1(32) How good is that? add in about 20 world title defences between them, and a mexico v PR battle!!!!!!

Bruno and Lewis was nothing more than a jab fest with Lewis looking bad with his balance that was not a classic fight infact i find it hard even calling it a good fight.

[DaxxKahn]

Ray Robinson Vs Jake LaMotta--The St Valentines Day Massacre.....This fight had everything. The skill of one of the if not the P4P of all time and perhaps one of the purely toughest SOB'S to ever gtrace the sport. No knockdown. No question on who won and no question on what the word HEART means. It was brutal with a capital B

Salvador Sanchez Vs Wilfredo Gomez.....Mick summed this up already

Tommy Hearns Vs Ray Leonard...anotyher bout with everyuthing..Drama..Skill. Suprise. Tommy became the boxer and Leonard the puncher. These men fought to see who was the best and prove they were the best. There was not a moment in this fight you sat down to watch

Castillo Vs Corrales 1--Will, Will, Will..and that is what these two showed. No one took a step back and neither party wanted this to be in the hands of the judges. Even with Corrales spitting out the mouth peice it did not detract from his performance. Out on his feet swollen and tired he managed to pull it out deep from inside to come out on top

Ali Vs Frazier 1--Heavyweight boxing in the greatest era of heavyweight boxing between two of the best to ever wear the crown. The return of a banished warrior against a guy who wanted to prove he deserved to carry the torch
