    Tyson's Ruddock fights. The last time we saw Mike perform well against a solid opponent.

    Good shout. Excellent win at Floyd's peak weight.


    Roy Jones - Bryant Brannon Few could make a one-sided blowout as entertaining as prime Roy. His multiple left hook combo was ridiculous.

    Naseem Hamed - Jose Badillo Naz has better wins on his record, but I don't think he ever looked better. Sliced Badillo open with a ramrod jab, and was in complete command before the mercy stoppage.

    Muhammad Ali - Jerry Quarry II As good as Ali version II looked. Completely dominated Quarry, who was a helluva fighter in his own right.

    Chris Eubank - Henry Wharton In the later stages of his career, Eubank reminded everyone of his superior boxing skills.

    Lennox Lewis - Frans Botha A less common exhibit in the argument for Lewis being a H2H monster.

    I just watched this one and it was superb.It's almost like watching a different fighter at that weight.Even though I'm a big fan of Duran,it's that version of Floyd that I think would surprise people against Cholo.The way he uses that elbow might end up foiling some of Cholo's signature moves.
    Has anyone read the book on Chavez? I'm sure when I saw his wiki a while back they said there was some doc about him as well.I'm sure he performed well against Morales not long after Floyd as well.:)huh)

    Espniosa vs Cobrita Gonzales in Guadalajara, Jalisco,Mehiko.

    Rematch it was a pointless rematch and proved to be dangerous one for the Mexican as he was caught in the 4th round with a thunderous right hand that closed the show.The Mexica was taken out on a stretcher and espinosa crew was pelted with bottles lol.

    I know it's not exactly "uncelebrated" but I'll have to give this classic another watch soon.

    Khaokar Galaxy vs Esponosa.

    I don't know what the **** happened here.The Kid for thailand must of been sick before this fight because he just fell down without being punched.This in a way is a gift win because Thailand is the robbery capital of the world sometimes.

    Thanks mate.

    And here's the fight that I think of when I think of how Ward-Dawson might go.

    Quoted in George Kimball's A Manly Art - "If Duddy fought Jermain [Taylor] right now, it's a one round fight" said DiBella, who happens to be the world champion's promoter. "But I'll say this: he's the greatest ticket-seller I've ever seen"

    Miguel Cotto vs. Randall Bailey. That body shot knockdown was absolutely great and it took him from a guy on my radar right onto my favorite fighter list (headed by Gatti at the time).

    Curiously overlooked is Cotto vs. Mosley. A damn good fight between two big names. That was PPV money well spent.

    Great thread, Pity. I will be coming back here to watch, or re-watch many of these fights.

    Thanks Jeff.I've found it to be a real treasure trove already.
    And Cotto at 140 was in my thoughts when making the thread.The guy was box office gold back then because anything could happen,although I didn't think I'd see Randall with a belt this far down the line.
