CC that was going to be my exact Lewis list except I would have repleace Mavrovic (or how ever you spell his name) with Grant's.....

Thomas Hearns

Duran
Cuevas
Shuler
Hagler
Hill

Nigel Benn - this will sound terrible, but my favourite fight of his must be with Gerald. Nigel written off by many before the first bell, put down very early on, given no chance at that point. But he came back. Showed real heart and strength, and displayed all of the qualities that the British are renowned for. Not only a great fighter who would take on anybody, but a true patriot.

Joel Casamayor-Wayne McCullough (Olympics)
Joel Casamayor-Jong-Kwon Baek
Joel Casamayor-Roberto Garcia
Joel Casamayor-Acelino Freitas (should of been a win)
Joel Casamayor-Nate Campbell
Joel Casamayor-Diego Corrales 1
Joel Casamayor-Jose Luis Castillo (also should of been a win)

Since when are the british known for heart and strength more than any other nation?
Examples of why the british are known to be stronger and have more heart than others?

That was a great fight, and this is coming from a Corrales fan. I always wonder what would've happened had the doctor not stopped the fight. Corrales was coming on when the fight was stopped.

I was gonna say Benn so I'll add

Benn-Logan
De Witt
Barkley
Eubank

Eagle - I didn't mention any other nations, nor did I say that heart and strength are qualities that the British have to a greater degree than other nationalities. Your post seems a little paranoid. Are you harbouring grudges from posts that are long gone?

Haha pretty much any fight where he KTFO his opponent....
Cant believe i forgot Hurtado, knock downs everywhere. CC

Eagle - don't understand what you are talking about. The only thing I can think of is that you are confused about the meaning of the word 'renowned'. To clear things up, it means famous or celebrated for. So you can see that my post was only praising the british, and certainly not to the detriment of other countries. Never mind, I'm used to people trying to deny me the right to support my country.

Holyfield....Its upsetting that at this stage I can easily make a list of My Least favorite fights with him :-[

Tko 10 Michael Dokes
Tko 11 Mike Tyson 1
W.15 Dwight Qawi 1
W.10 Ray Mercer
L.12 Riddick Bowe 1

PBF vs Corrales
PBF vs Gatti
PBF vs Ndou
PBF vs De La Hoya (awesome performance against a much bigger guy)

Gatti v Ward 1

Gatti v Ward 3

Gatti vs Rodriguez

Gatti vs Gamache (deary me...obliteration)

Old School
Alexis vs. Olivares - Picks up his 1st World title and is the begining of a new King for many years to come spectacular fight.
Alexis vs. Escalera I & II - Tough & rugged Alfredo just wouldn't give up and fought 2 of the best fights in his career.
Alexis vs. Mancini - What a masterful performance by Alexis breaking down Mancinin one round at a time
Alexis vs. Limon - The power of Alexis once again showed here as he beat Limon to force the stoppage.
Alexis vs. Castillo - Alexis fought his ass off, Castillo was very durable but in the end he prevailed.

Duran vs. SRL I - Could possibly be the most satisfying victory in boxing history for me. I love every second of it.
Duran vs. De Jesus II & III - Brutal fights all 3 actually but Duran showed in 2&3 why he is one of the greatest.
Duran vs. Barkley - Way past his best days he pulls a rabbit out of a hat in this one and beat the Blade. 8)
Duran vs. Hagler - What an effort by Duran here I mean he gave Hagler a damn! good fight and Duran thru all he could.
Duran vs. Kobayashi - Brilliant performance by a young Duran the combination that he land on Kobayashi was well thrown.



New School
Cotto vs. Bazan - Cotto picks up his 1st title here (not world) and puts on a very good performance against former world champ.
Cotto vs. Pinto - The distruction of an up and comer along with him, there was only room for 1 Cotto made sure it was him.
Cotto vs. Mohamad - Paybacks a bitch! that's all I will say.
Cotto vs. Torres - Slightly more exciting then the Zab fight, Torres threw caution to the wind and so did Cotto. We learned a lot on that night in Jersey about Cotto. What a fight.
Cotto vs. Paulie - The kid was way over his head here, but he wanted the fight so he got it. Cotto showed signs that he could box here.
Cotto vs. Zab - Right underneath Duran-SRL I for most satisfying win. I loved every second of it and watching Zab beat senseless was food for my soul.
Cotto vs. SSM - Beauty. Cotto shows that hes not one dimensional (for the idiots who said he was) and boxes well moving, jabbing and his footwork was really nice.

ODLH vs. Molina - The very rugged Molina gives ODLH one of his toughest fights early in his career but Oscar slips away with a UD. A lot people over look this fight in Oscars career not realizing that Molina was like on a 13 fight wining streak.
ODLH vs. Gonzalez - Oscar fights the then undefeated and very skilled 'Santa Tokyo' but Oscar was just a step ahead all the time.
ODLH vs. Whitaker - Glorious win for Oscar, he defeats one of the best P4P fighters of all time. Oscar showed class & skill.
ODLH vs. Ike - Quite possibly Oscars most exciting fight, overlooked. Oscar fought with heart and determanation. People who question him and his will have obviously forgotten this fight.
ODLH vs. SSM II - One of Oscars finest performances on skill, he lost but honestly when I heard the result I didn't bother me cause I knew Oscar had won.
ODLH vs. Vargas - Talk the talk but you gotta walk the walk..... An another bites the dust.
ODLH vs. Mayorga - Oscar comebacks and destroys the mouthy Mayorga with his trademark hook.

RJJ

I know it was a one-sided affair, but when he fought Bryant Brannon. That guy looked like a stud and came out at Roy like a hurricane. Roy relaxed on the ropes and covered up and picked him apart between shots. One knock down was so embarrassing Brannon had his ass up in the air and his face on the canvas. And when the fight was stopped Roy was popping him at will, stopped and gestured to the ref to stop it, shrugged when he didn't and pounded on Brannon some more until he knocked him down again.

RJJ-Toney
RJJ-Ruiz (not a great fight, but the historical value played an important part)
RJJ-Hill
RJJ-Kelley (the chicken wing!)
RJJ-Griffin II

Wilfred Benitez

vs. Antonio Cervantes ( A brilliant display of counterpunching by Benitez )

vs. Duran ( not the most exciting of fights, but great strategy by Benitez, completely shutting down Duran )

lenox lewis vs. tyson
morrison
mercer
rahman 2
botha
briggs
golata
ruddock

Hatton vs:

Tszyu - for the achievement
Collazo - excitement of the fight
Thaxton - was great to see Hatton thoroughly outbox someone like Thaxton at such a young age


RJJ vs:

Richard Hall - pure mismatch but fun to watch....especially the 1st round
Clinton Woods - i like Clinton but you could only admire Jones' ability.
Griffin 2 - Explosive


Mayweather vs:

Gatti - clinic
Chico - clinic
Chavez - exciting clinic
N'Dou - exciting, n'dou showed a lot of heart
