What are the 5 best rare fights of all time?

[ICB]

was just coming on to add Sellars Thompson but beaten to it

John David Jackson v Jorge Castro (I think that was his name ?)

and Kid Akeem v Robert Quiroga

Even though both of those fights you mentioned were FOTY, they are still very underrated.

Knew Akeem v Quiroga was FOTY but not Jackson Castro - you learn something new everyday

Thats what I mean though although FOTY you never really hear them mentioned

Probably two of the most underrated FOTY's of the last 30 years or so, another underrated FOTY is Jose Luis Ramirez vs Edwin Rosario 2, i suggest you check that out if you haven't seen it.

so this thread got me looking at the fights of the year over the year and the rounds of the year awarded by The Ring.

i see in 1988 Tyson v Spinks won round of the year ?!? Am I missing something here - not seen it for ten years or so but how did this win Round of the year ?!?

You are not missing anything, because the Ring frequently has its collective head up it's butt. That round was "wipeout of the year," but there sure as Hell was no exchange.
