Boxing News 100 Greatest Fights Full List *Spoilers*

:good I will buy it mate.Theres quite a few i havent seen.Nice to see Benn vs G-man near the top.

 

And it gets recognition as such in the magazine from one it's writers. I agree it was too low myself, but a mainstream publication is always going to go for one of the more famous bouts as it's matinee write-up...and as I say, there are some obscurities in there too.

 

:thumbsup

 

WOW just noticed no duran v barkley or my lamps are ****ed

 

Seriously, if we did that to all the great fights we'd have a book of 'top 1000 fights that were missed off the first 100'.

Duran gets in there. Barkley himself makes an appearance listing his own favourite fights.

 

Get on with it i want it as thick as the yellow pages

 

So would I mate, so would I!

 

Hey look, it's another list of fights I can only read about in defunct newspapers. And about five of the top 20 are way too high.

 

Off a quick scan, every single one is available on film.

Maybe I missed one, two or three. But that's literally out of 100.

 

manilla aint even the best ali frazier fight.

as with the fighters book i would prefer it if they just called it 100 great fights

seems a bit pointless putting in unfilmed fights, pep saddler was a great performance by pep but for all i know it could have been a dull fight.

will buy it for the pictures anyway.

armsrong v ross seems a strange choice too, historically important but not so great to watch

 

4. Zale v Graziano 1
11. Graziano v Zale 2
21. Pep v Saddler 2
26. Greb v Walker
27. Wolgast v Rivers 1 (though there is a highlight)
59. Jack v Montgomery 2
64. Martin v Spencer
74. Lewis v Britton 2

 

I had a browse through this in WHSmith yesterday and thought the same thing. I know the list is for "Greatest" and not "Best" fights but still. The fact that Gatti - Ruelas is directly in front makes it worse imo.

However, there were some quality, more obscure fights that i was pleased to see mentioned.

 

I'm surprised at how many of these I've actually seen............
