Stop trying to rewrite history! You're causing irreparable damage! But yes, great list and a fighter well worth checking out :good
Fighting Harada Vs Pone Kingpetch I Vs Aoki Vs Bernardo Caraballo Vs Alan Rudkin Vs Eder Jofre I&II Vs Johnny Famechon I
Now that I got my Philly/Chandler rant out of the way... Alexis Arguello 1 Mancini (simply brilliant) 2 Escalera I (The bloody battle of bayamon) 3 Limon 4 Boza-Edwards 5 Escalera II 6 Kobayashi 7 Pryor I 8 Olivares 9 Castillo 10 Chacon Arguello is a must watch
Vicente Saldivar 01 Laguna (I am not sure if a COMPLETE fight exists?) 02 Sugar Ramos 03 Rojas 04 Seiki I 05 Famechon 06 Winstone I 07 Winstone II 08 Winstone III 09 Seiki II
I have always enjoyed both of these fights, but remain partial to the first one. Just out of curiosity, is there something about the 2nd fight that stands out to you over the first one?
Salvador Sanchez vs Danny Lopez I & II vs Wilfredo Gomez vs Juan Laporte vs Azumah Nelson Sumbu Kalambay vs Mike McCallum I & II vs Iran Barkley vs Doug Dewitt vs Robbi Sims vs Herol Graham vs Ayub Kalule
It's a toss-up really. Could just as easily have been the first, but I do think the rematch shows quite well how Arguello couls stem the tide of any potential comeback with textbook precision punching. He just seemed more in control in the rematch, and every time Escalaera tried to build a head of steam, that short hook found its home and he was on his face.
For my own taste, I would only put one Lopez fight in there for Sanchez, as if you've seen one you've seen them both. Someone just learning about him for the first time might as well know his foibles too, so I'd recommend a fight like Castillo or Ford, so they could see how relatively uncomfortable he was against movers and boxers. Just to give them more of a full picture.
