Marco Huck - Ola Afolabi: This fight is really good because it will challenge your perceptions of what a "win" or a "draw" should be. The background is that Huck is a hometown fighter and can't mess up an opportunity for the Klitschkos.

I'd recommend to watch Mayweather-Castillo 1.

All everyone talks about is their opinion on the decision, but it was actually a pretty good fight.

Evander Holyfield-Riddick Bowe 2: excellent, crazy fight.

James Toney-Mike McCallum 1-2: extremely skilled technical fight, the first one was more exciting, the 2nd one closer IMO

Oscar De La Hoya-Ike Quartey: slow for much of the fight, but it had a great finish.

Larry Holmes-Tim Witherspoon: Good fight was a classic 9th round

Muhammad Ali-Earnie Shavers: Ali was old but sure had a great chin

Edwin Rosario-Jose Luis Ramirez 1: the 2nd fight was better, but this fight was decent and had a controversial decision

Sugar Ray Leonard-Marvin Hagler: Still debated to this day. I actually scored it 114-114

Roberto Duran-Iran Barkley: I thought Duran was a close but clear winner, but some others disagree. Great fight.

Sergio Martinez-Paul Williams 1: Very good fight, controversial decision, one judge was drunk apparently and had it 119-110.

Lennox Lewis-Ray Mercer: Another good close fight, Mercer had a great chin, Lewis showed a better chin than he's remembered for having.

Erik Morales-Marco Antonio Barrera 1: a masterpiece of violence

Andrew Golota-John Ruiz- sloppy and ugly, but somewhat entertaining in a train-wreck sort of way and for the hilarious Norman Stone

Evander Holyfield-John Ruiz 1- everyone remembers this trilogy as being horrible, but the first fight was actually halfway decent
Ruiz definitely should have won that fight. I was not all that close. The third fight was close.

Hector Camacho-Edwin Rosario: I felt Rosario won, a lot of others disagree with me.

George Foreman-Alex Stewart: good fight, Foreman looked like a grotesque mess afterwards. I felt Foreman won by a point.

Evander Holyfield-Dwight Qawi 1: I've actually never scored this myself. I've seen a slim minority of people have said that they felt Qawi deserved the nod. The great majority had it for Evander. Whatever the case, it ought to be watched because it was an excellent fight.

Larry Holmes-Ken Norton: the consensus is that Holmes won a close fight. I've never scored this either but it seemed to me that is was a fair decision. A very good fight with a terrific 15th round.

Bernard Hopkins-Segundo Mercado 1: Mercado was fortunate in this fight IMO, perhaps he got some help fighting in his own country, but it still a good bruising fight and worth a watch.
