I've seen a few edits of Clay vs Jones, but this one really highlights his combinations, laser jab and a left hook that couldn't miss.

Weird fight, weird pre-fight occurrence, Marciano had the flu the week before, .... punches didnt have the same steam, fighting a heavier guy, a skilled guy....

Ok, so "long ago" is pretty much 50's and before

My own initial entry would be Duran-Leonard I. Not as old, but now just over 40 years ago. I'd say that classifies as "long ago."

Now THAT..... is a timeless classic.

You know I have a bit of knowledge of the old legendary fighters, but have rarely actually watched old old fights or fight footage!
Should change that. Thanks everyone who posted videos here. I'm gonna work my way through them

I say to this day, Marvin ruined Mugabi. His punch resistance was never the same after this bout.

Definitely ruined Mugabe, but Hagler took a pounding and some have said HE was never quite the same after that either. Haglers face at the end was really fucked up.
