Best Middleweight And SuperMiddleweight Fights Ever

[ICB]

Benn-Logan and Benn-DeWitt weren't bad, either

Benn and Logan was a crazy fight Logan was close to stopping Benn.

Well I don't think all will qualify as Best ever but A few not mentioned that stand out to me that had a effect:

Jorge Castro vs.John David Jackson-Jackson was putting on a pure clinic and then Castro caught him on the ropes...WOW
Kid Gavilan vs.BoBo Olson-Gavilan cleans out Welts.and moves up to war with Olson.
Marvin Hagler vs.Vito Antufermo-brutal
Omar Sheika vs.Scott Pemberton 1-freakishly savage fight
Julian Jackson vs.Thomas Tate -Great back & forth as Tate takes everything
Iran Barkley vs.Jesus Castenada-Someone forgot to tell Jesus he was an "opponent".Bloodbath
Vincent Pettway vs.James hardrock Green-forget strategy,just bombs away
Quincy Taylor vs.Otis Grant-pretty much all technical until 12th rnd.picture perfect one punch and OUT COLD.
Aaron Davis vs.Simon Brown-2 old warriors.......go to war
Bernard Hopkins vs.John David Jackson-B-Hop assaults and beats down future corner man
Tommy Hearns vs.James "the heat" Kinchen-Hearns gets dropped and is given early christmas gift Decision.

great matches.. i enjoyed the write up

Thanks Taz. Good to see "new" posters.Early CC to ya!
Any Favs at Middle?

thanks.. your list echos my thoughts.. great matches you listed . simon brown -vs vincent pettway was exciting .. many great fights in and around that 160lb range

Brown laying on the canvas jabbing into mid air was Insane.Really Brutal,even more so than Morrison sitting in his corner hooking off the jab after Mercer rendered him KTFO.
Really the beginning of the end for Brown and really sad as well was his similar KO loss to featherfisted David "Popeye" Reid.Ive always enjoyed Brown but all of his wars took an unforgiving toll.

Felix Trinidad-William Joppy. Great middleweight debut by Trinidad
Byron Mitchell-Julio Cesar Green. Mitchell down twice in the first come backs to win
Antwan Echols-Charles Brewer. Amazing comeback by Echols
Bernard Hopkins-Antwan Echols 2. Such deliberate fouls

Good scraps VD.Mitchell vs.Green was insane.Green got hammered like a Nail!
Echols always struck me as "touched" came off kind of nutty.absolute born puncher who could hurt anyone at anytime.Had alot of dirty S!!!! go on in some of his fights but was truly dangerous when hurt.

Zale and Graziano had some brawls
Robinson and Fullmer
Robinson and Basilio
Basilio and Fullmer

I guess Benn-McClellan has to be up there too

I didn't really enjoy Hagler vs Leonard.

Well for an event or ect you could list it but im listing the fights that were the most exciting Duran vs Hagler is another fight that didn't catch fire imo.
