    Getting pretty stoked for this weekend's bout. Doubt it will make this list but let's see your best 10 fights in the Lightheavy division based on significance, action and/or skill.

    If so

    Conteh-Saad I
    Saad-Lopez II
    Saad Johnson I&II
    Foster-Finnegan I
    Johnson-Moore (5? Whichever one there is footage of where they both go down)
    Saad-Kates
    Root-Gardiner

    Are some good ones.

    Yaqui Lopez was in some great scraps and was the epitome of a contender.
    I haven't heard or read anything about merqui Sosa for years.I was convinced he was going right to the top.

    To be honest, you could have a top ten of just Saad fights!

    Along with those mentioned, Greb-Tunney I.
