    That's not the point. I wrote some of the bookazine and want people to buy it, I appreciate you posting about it and would love some discussion on it, just worried that posting the whole thing will defeat the object and convince some that 'I don't really need to buy it now.

    Hope you enjoyed it :good

    This is why simply posting the list doesn't do it justice, especially as on Chacon-Limon IV pages there is a section with my top ten fights; oh, and Chacon-Limon IV makes NUMBER ****ING 1 :D

    McGrain sort this out please mate, it only ****ing came out yesterday and is now rendered redundant to some of the people I'd like most to read it.

    Apologies, just wanted to see what the guys thought of the list, especially the Americans who might not get a chance to see it

    Id like to think boxing fans would buy it anyway for the pictures alone, great work on it Flea

    Please buy the mag everyone!!!!

    Some very good choices, always going to disagree on a list like this.

    I'm very happy that my suggestions of Chang-Tokashiki and Park-Espadas made the list. I'm not sure why Watanabe-Poontarat I made it, quality fight but not one of the very, very greatest, still, was fun to right and is certainly a very, very important matchup for the division and the time.

    I think Gatti-Ward I is much too high, Gatti's fights were a lot of fun but don't compare to Saad and Chacon's best.

    I prefer Vasquez-Marquez III but then again I got a chance to air that in my own personal 'top ten fights', again posted in the issue on same page as Chacon-Limon IV (so y'all can stop asking me :D)

    I was a bit disappointed no Gaspar Ortega fights made it. Still, the BN team came up trumps IMO, they wanted a diverse list of mainstream, more obscure, tactical wars, all out brawls running from the midgets to the behemoths, and I think they managed it.
