All of these fights had something memorable for me. In No particular order...
Leonard - Hearns I
Leonard dug deep for this one. Till then, I had him pegged as a media darling, but after this fight I really had to give him his due as a great fighter.
Cornelius Boza Edwards - Rafael "Bazooka" Limon
Just a great battle. non stop action.
Ali - Foreman
Maybe not the best in terms of boxing skill, but unbeatable for build up and drama. IMO ALi was brilliant, I womder if eeven Dundee had an idea about what would happen. Ali made Foreman look like a Klutz.
Hopkins - Trinidad
Like waiting for the bomb to go off, but it never happened. I was all for Hopkins, but very nervous of Tito's power. Hopkins strategy worked to a T, imo he cemented his genious with this fight.
Hard to pick a fifth, there are so many but I'll say Arguello-Mancini. Mancini was young, strong, amd aggressive, and a good boxer, but Arguello was at his peak or only slightly past it, and held him off for a smooth victory. Arguello was always one of my favorites.
