Sean Mannion against Mike McCallum.
Joe Frazier against Muhammad Ali in Manilla.
All in their own way but this is what came to mind in no order.
Tex Cobb - Larry Holmes
Diego Corrales - Jose Luis Castillo II
Du Ku Kim - Ray Mancini (had this fight not had that horrible horrible ending and aftermath it would be considered one of the best fights of all time)
Billy Conn - Joe Louis
Jeff Lacy - Joe Calzaghe
Vazquez - Marquez I,II & III
Henry Cooper - Muhammad Ali
Vitali Klitschko - Lennox Lewis
Alexis Arguello - Aaron Pryor
Ron Lyle - George Foreman
Julian Letterlough - Julio Gonzalez
Mark Breland - Aaron Davis
Jose Ribalta v Mike Tyson - that boy took some hits apparently when he was eventually KO'ed his mouth piece landed on the judges table with 6 teeth still in in
I think Marvin Johnson vs Matthew Saad Muhammad 1 deserves a mention as well. Johnson beat the crap out of Muhammad and just couldn't find that final KO blow. I think thats one of the bravest performances and best performances i've ever seen in a losing effort.Quote:

i dunno if anyone put this one but, Floyd Mayweather Sr. Vs. Sugar Ray Leonard, honestly gotta give Floyd Sr. a hell of a lot of credit for the heart he showed
I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned more, such a brave effort from Vargas!Quote:

Same as you, havent gone back and read... But I was thinking about Tyson Vs Douglas
Tyson was taking thunderous shots and kept coming, despite a dumb gameplan Tyson hung in there till he was Ko'd not to mention he had Douglas down for the 14 count:rolleyes: and almost squeaked away with the victory
I just neg repped you, not that my punch power matters, but that is seriously one of the stupidest things I have read on this forum. Dissing somebody because they are a "newbie", and not having a single response to their actual arguement... How pathetic. As if someones opinion has to be validated by how many posts they have on some forum. I mean truly, who gives a fuk. At best all that could indicate is that they have something better to do.Quote:
