Like I saiad above Hatton would've lost if Ray Hatton was ref, but Cortez didn't treat Nard the same as he did Hatton and that is FACT (to use Fensters favourite phrase)

Michael Watson vs Chris Eubank 2.

While I agree that it was wrong for Cortez to allow Hatton's reputation to influence the way he reffed the fight, it is Hatton's fault that he has such a reputation.
Cortez is just a fucking terrible ref. I was equally unimpressed with the way he reffed Calzaghe - Hopkins as I was with the way he reffed PBF - Hatton.

I agree with what you say about the reffing though, it didn't matter who the ref was, PBF was going to win, unfortunately.

Good usage old son

I can't believe all the bickering and nobody has talked about these fights!!!


Rocky vs Apollo I - his face looked like hamburger helper and he kept on fighting.

Apollo vs Drago- the guy fought to the death and wouldn't let his corner stop it. That takes guts.

I'm going to give credit to both fighters, and I'm pretty sure everyone can agree on this one: Frazier-Ali 3. Both fighters took many a shot that would put 99% of history's heavyweights on their ass, and as far as bravery and effort goes, you have to give props to them both for putting together a legendary battle.

Ya'll got no love for Hector Camacho?


Hector Camacho against Julio Cesar Chavez. One of the bravest ways to take a beating ive ever seen.

All in their own way but this is what came to mind in no order.

Tex Cobb - Larry Holmes
Diego Corrales - Jose Luis Castillo II
Du Ku Kim - Ray Mancini (had this fight not had that horrible horrible ending and aftermath it would be considered one of the best fights of all time)
Billy Conn - Joe Louis
Jeff Lacy - Joe Calzaghe
Vazquez - Marquez I,II & III
Henry Cooper - Muhammad Ali
Vitali Klitschko - Lennox Lewis
Alexis Arguello - Aaron Pryor
Ron Lyle - George Foreman
Julian Letterlough - Julio Gonzalez
Mark Breland - Aaron Davis

[ICB]

Marvin Johnson / Matthew Saad Muhammad 2
Kid Akeem / Robert Quiroga
Tony Lopez / Julio C. Chavez
Joe Hipp / Tommy Morrison
Jung Koo Chang / Muanchai Kittakasem
Bones Adams /Orlando Canizales
Levander Johnson / Jesus Chavez
Ray olivera / Emanuel Augustus

I think Marvin Johnson vs Matthew Saad Muhammad 1 deserves a mention as well. Johnson beat the crap out of Muhammad and just couldn't find that final KO blow. I think thats one of the bravest performances and best performances i've ever seen in a losing effort.

Yes he is. Lefty is going to be walking with a cane after this. One of the best debuts I seen in this forum.
