MUST WATCH BOXING SURVEY - FINAL RESULTS

I'm the GOAT. I should be number one.

 

No, there's you, and then there's another guy named Geogre Crowcroft, I think he's French.

 

I really hope that you were just funny on purpose.

 

Ah, okay lol I thought you made a joke I was too young to get.

I'll stick with my first one, but I'll be changing it.

 

I recently done a top 30 so I'll have a go at this.

Welcome aboard. Nice list.

 

Good list.

Just wondering about Zale-Graziano 2. Can this really be included?

 

I dunno man, something about that Meldrick Porter doesn't sit well with me.

 

I picked Zale vs. Graziano II for a few reasons. It was a brutal back and forth battle between two warriors who symbolized that era of middleweight boxing. Rocky overcoming the extreme heat and deep cut on his eye to stop Zale with a relentless onslaught to finally win it all is one of my favorite boxing stories. Admittedly I also included this bout for personal reasons, as it was one of the first fights my uncle showed me when I was a kid. Rocky was a hero in our Italian-American family.

 

It wasn't a criticism of choosing that fight as it is a legendary, just that based on the first guiding principle (must be available on YouTube and at least 50% of the fight), it's doesn't meet that criteria, that's all...
