Also Azumah Nelson -vs- James Leija Trilogy

James Leija was under appreciated as a fighter, excellent form he had, was always pleasing to the eye, very good technically !

I really enjoyed Ike Quartey vs Jose Luis Lopez years back ! Remember that fight Mick ?

F****** great match that was.. I really liked Lopez's power ! Lopez’s weight was bit of a problem but his power was nice, and Ike Quartey is always has a beautiful pleasing style to watch,, Ike is one of my favorite fighters to watch , stylistically looks so good in the ring his form and all is brilliant,, needs to use his RT more

My problem with Jessie is how he quit against Ward and Zooo...Hardly in a warrior's style. He is becoming a very good trainer, however. How he beat Nelson remains a mystery to me to this date.

James never quit,,, Leija was a warrior "He was fighting outside his natural weight in those fights. James prime fighting weight was 126 - 130 Leija blew out his eardrum in the Tszyu fight and the corner via the Dr. stopped the match . Very pleasing style

James unofficially beat Juan Lazcano , and tapped danced all over Hector Camacho Jr's a**
has nice wins over Ivan Robinsion ,Francisco Bojado, Azumah Nelson ,Louie Espinoza

Yeah, he quit on the stool against Ward and Zoo. Enough said!

Swell, but did you see each of these either live or live on TV? If so, could you give me alittle narrative to back up your picks?

[tedsares]

What's difficult is to keep it down to 10 or 15. I cheat a bit by using a 3-way tie and including some HON. MENTIONS, but if you actuall restrict it to ten, it is extremly difficult. If I did, I would include Hagler-Hearns as my 10th and that would be it. Lists like these drive me nuts. I don't know what compells me to do them. Perhaps masochism. Still, it's all about generating exchanges. God bless boxing! I love it so!

no didnt see all of them live ted because i was too young at time

[Tito BHB]

Its highly likely that most of the fights that the people are putting down havnt been seen live..
I mean where would somebody watch all these fights not bieng in america for one..
( In my case) Not having cable/satelite tv..
Ive seen many fights and thats all through ordering career sets, borrowing career set..Ive watched hundreds on youtube of fights in full..
Loads of documentaries on internet or ordered..
Or i download them off the internet.. Ive seen most of durans career on dvd and by the time i was born he was about ten years past his prime..

Understood. I'm so damn old, I have that advatange. One of several good things about being 69. I remember the late 40's and of course really grew up in the fifties when I fought amature. A good time to be involved in boxing. IMO. I have remained a fanatic, historian, handicapper, and more recently a writer ever since. Aside from cigars, good books, and sex, it's the only thing I have loved consistently for over 60 years. It keeps me young and as mentally acute as permisible.

I love the jones- paz fight..

Especially the knockdowns.. Roy flowed so well with his unorthadox styles leaping in with uppercuts..
Hitting him clean with about five shots with the referee coming in to stop the action roy threw another uppercut or two to drop him before it got stopped..Beautiful

But of course we all know that paz should have killed roy had he times his coffee right

I love it. Time to put the "quiet" on Paz. Not easy to do, but Junior ddid it in this beatdown. Loved it!

[Tito BHB]

This Topic keeps trying to slip away.. But i shant let it..Its too good to have it slip..

Other faves...

Pretty much any johnny tapia fights especially the two ayala fights.. Loved the first one because it was just too entertaining..Although johnny was fighting entirely the wrong fight..
And the second fight was still a little scrappy in parts for entertainment value but johnny looked nice for the best part of it.. Been a fair while since i seen it.. Think i had it a draw...

Also after having left the low low weight divisions alone to do theyr own thing for the best part of the time in which i have followed boxing... Finally started getting into the fly and bantam weight divisions..
They all seem small..But my do they have some brutal ko's going round in the lower divisions..
Loving rafa marquez, vasquez, bautista, de leon.. Cant wait for vasquez- marquez..

[tedsares]

de leon.. will produce some real chillers...like the one against the Thai. I thought he killed me.
