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
yes thats the one el gamo 1st round was one of greatest hw rounds in history possibly better than holyfield bowe 10th roundQuote:

Pernell Whitaker vs Diobelys Hurtado-hurtado dominates until getting crushed in the 11th
Razor Ruddock vs Tommy Morrison-2 big bombers, lots of knockdowns and unbelievable knockdown by Morrison
Alex Arthur Vs Michael Gomez
Marco Antonio Barrera vs Kennedy McKinney
A few that never get a mention
Chi-Brodie
Ward-Neary
Gatti - Ruelas
Totally agree bro...Quote:

I think thats why people felt he was boring in the verybig fights.. Because during the fights with lesser fighters he could tear through them and do as he pleased whilst he has never been stupid and uses his defence to the max in the superfights where it was all on the line..
I jus dug this out as an example of early Executioner ;) :)
Hopkins - stokes

Another classic
Hopkins - Powell..Two fights before he fought Jones jr :)

i heard bert cooper and mercer was slugest aswell but have never seen it
i dont know if anyone agrees with me but do you guys think hearns vs leonard 2 gets over looked sometimes ?? i mean it had everything knockdowns great boxing and both men wobbling around ring and of course controversial decision
Good fights all around, I'm gonna have to step it up here. Here are a few.
Roberto Duran - Esteban De Jesus
Antonio Escalante - Jose Andres Hernandez
Dennis Green - Mickey Ward
Michael Carbajal - Humberto Gonzalez
And if you can stand to watch it, Ray Mancini and Deu Koo Kim (spelling is probably off) Tragic ending and the fight i hard to stomach but had Kim not died, this would be regarded as one of the greatest fights ever. Kind of the same with Griffith - Peret III. Wasn't as good but a very competitive fight but these fights are just so damn hard to watch :-\
Iran Barkley vs Michael Olajide
Cutmemick mentioned tito - vargas...
Not really sure on this one... Its a truely legendary fight..Not sure if it quite gets its props...
Personally i would have had it fight of the year.. A real shame it had stiff competition in barrera - morales I
Imo it still edged it...
Sanchez-Castillo - It started off tactical as Castillo was edging out the rounds as he wouldn't back down for nothing then in the middle rounds Sanchez warmed up and started going to work and was getting the better part of the rounds.... In the championship rounds though tired Castillo kept throwing punches and would catch Sanchez on the odd occasion but Sanchez was smarter in the sense that he was moving around and using more ring generalship in the 12, 13 & 14 Sanchez landed some really hard punches that were snapping Castillos head back and those late rounds were the ones that sealed the deal for Sanchez great fight as Castillo was game the whole way through....Quote:

Olivares though past his best days came out to work he was trying to get inside throughout the fight and make it an inside fight at times he suceed it but for the most part Arguello kept him at distance. Olivares caught Arguello on accasions with some good blows to the body and to the head but the young Arguello took them and fought back..... In the championship rounds it was obvious Olivares was tiring and was fighting on heart, will and the blood and guts the he always showed in his career he lande a big bomb in the 12th round that hurt Arguello but Olivares could not finish the job he tried and hard you could see Olivares just literally throwing punches with whatever he had left........ In the 13th round Arguello drops Olivares and when hes on the floor Arguello tells him and I quote "Come on get up, don't stay down get up and fight me", Olivares with the heart of a warrios beats the count he fights back but by this time it was too late as Arguello drops him again this time Arguello states that in his mind as he stood in the corner he said and I quote "Please, don't let him get up" ;D.... After the fight Argeullo visited Olivares dressing room and told Olivares and I quote "Your a great champ. and I will defend this belt the same way you have"......
Both really great fights....IMO
thanks for info bro cc
ali-frazier 2---most overlooked fight ever-- because it didnt have the drama of 1 and 3. it has lots of action and better than most fights seen today
