Uuummm!! let me see.... How about


Arguello vs. Olivares - A true classic, this was the passing of the baton from a great champ to the new champ.
Barrios vs. Freitas - I think a lot of people overlook that fight or just forget how good it was. Gatti-Ward II was FOTY.
MAB vs. McKinney - What a superb fight from begining to end, back and forth action and both fighters giving it their all.
Boza-Edwards vs. Navarrete - In true Philipino fashion Navarrete comes in a does what Philipinos do best, that's go against all odds.
Cooper vs. Moorer - These 2 exchange knockdowns and both on the verge of wining the fight, short but explosive.
Liles vs. Littles - Another short and sweet fight with a huge KO in the end. Very entertaining
Campas vs. Duddy - Back and forth action, the momentum switches from fighter to fighter about 25 times as the rounds go on.
Gomez vs. Nelson - Whoa! Speechless really 2 of the greats in their battleing it out.
Norris vs. Waters - On the verge of upsetting Norris, Waters trys to with all hes got to land the one punch that would put Norris away.
JCC vs. Martinez - What a fight this was and more important it showed that JCC was one tough SOB and those who have seen it will agree.

Agree with Arguello V Olivares and Norris V Waters is brutal.
For me one of the most underrated fights ever was Fenech v Zaragoza in 1986...find this fight somewhere and admire what these guys can do in a boxing ring.

PAc vs Marquez I can still see the fireworks ;D

CC#40 on me THIRD MAN and I agree with your pick of 'Mauler' vs. 'The Mouse' what a battle.
Actually as I mentioned before in another thread there a few fighters whos entire careers you can almost say all their fights are very good/exciting/entertaining fights and def. Fenech is one of those fighters. Like Gatti even when he lost he was still exciting.

Trice - Brown & Davis - Breland are 2 great fights that you'll hardly ever hear anything about. Two of my all time favs!

Another great one is Morales vs McCullough. I think a lot of people forget about this one since Morales fought the first Barerra fight next.

Fights that I forgot were good. Hmmm.... I don't know, I must have forgot. ;D

Young Mutley v Kevin Anderson

Just thought of the Gatti-Robinson fights. Those were amazing!

Here's a recent fight that I had forgotten was good.... Taylor-Wright.

I just watched it tonight, and that fight was back and forth toe-to-toe action for 12 rounds. I knew it was a good fight, but I didn't remember it being that good.

Taylor fought very hard in that fight and hit Wright with a lot of shots. He shouldn't get criticized for how he fought that night.

These are some British fighters that spring to mind.

Lewis vs Briggs - Two big guys throwing big punches until the end .

Thompson vs Sellers - Small hall show went under the radar but both guys kept coming back from the brink of defeat. Possible K.O of the year too to finish it .

Reid vs Calzaghe - These guys arent known for being in exciting fights but when they met each other it was really entertaining , and the hatred between them added to the tension in the ring .

Nas vs Sanchez - This was Nas' last big win but he was on teh deck in a 4 round shot out in a great little fight

Williams - Potter Before the injury this was a great battle . Danny was floored in the opening seconds of the fight . Came back to florr Potter in th eopening seconds of the 2nd round . Then his shoulder came out the socket and when it looked like he was about to be stopped he knocked Potter out with the left hand

Lueshing vs Saunders - Great cuz neither guy could take the other guys punch and every few seconds there would be a knockdown . Strangely enough the fight was stopped with Sanders on his feet . ;D

I like Larios/ Vasquez 2. That was a hard out battle. Don't hear to much about it these days

& Letterlough/ Gonzalez. What a brawl!

I just finished watching a fight that I forgot was good.

Rafael Ruelas vs. Freddie Pendleton - What a battle, Freddi drops Ruelas twice in the 1st round. Ruelas weathers the storm and comes back and was very close to stopping Freddie.

Barrera-Juarez I

Morales-In Jin Chi

Morales-Pac I
