    The huge one when when I was a kid...The battle of the KO kings. Zarate at 46-0 (45kos) vs Zamora 27-0 (27 kos).

    You took all the good ones I think. I could only think of a few lesser ones.

    Mike McCallum vs Julian Jackson
    Holyfield vs Alex Stewart
    Cotto vs Malignaggi

    A very worthy fight... Minus the guy who jumps in the ring wearing a muscle shirt and his briefs.

    By the way it's on the list about halfway down.

    Yeah great list, and the fight this weekend is as significant an undefeated battle as there has been for at least a few years. I can't think of any you missed off the top.

    That guy was very fortunate not to experience the famed 'LAPDchoke-hold.' On camera at least. I have always assumed they choked him out later.
    The fight, though...In those days boxing mattered and they would have the results on the 10pm news. I remember waiting to hear the result of that fight. On another night I waited to hear the result of Ganigan vs Gonzalez, and Davila vs Sandoval. I remember asking my mother to let me stay up late to hear the result when Little Red Lopez fought turi pineda years before.

    Pure quality stuff Mick! I'd exclude Alexander vs Bradley on the grounds of wanting to keep my last meal down ha. Maybe toss in a Jeff Chandler vs Julian Solis though not 'huge'. A Yuh Myung-woo vs Leo Gamez...division record setter against a guy who would become a 4 division champ you hardly hear of, if at all. Paul Gonzalez in only his 5th fight beating an undefeated and future division great in Orlando Canizales? Jeremy Williams vs Danell nicholson, ok I need a slap . Hey..wish we saw undefeated American heavys meet that early NOW.

    If you included Thurman-Chaves you can include

    Paul Williams 29-0 vs Walter Matthysse 25-0
    Dmitry Pirog 16-0 vs Daniel Jacobs 20-0

    Great list Mick. If Mathysse wasn't robbed against Judah and Alexander, Garcia vs Mathysse would be a notable one on there

    May I propose: Leonard Dorin (21-0-0) vs. Paul Spadafora (36-0-0) , IBF & WBA bout unification?
