    Lemme know what you think is the greatest cruiser fight in history. I uploaded this one because the action was crazy back and forth, hard landed shots and a twist at the end. Enjoy!

    That was funny.

    The tall guy was throwing with bad intentions. But the short guy did throw the right hand nice and short.

    Lee Roy Murphy v Chisanda Mutti would be a top 3 all-time Cruiserweight fight in my view.

    Holyfield-Qawi is far superior from a technical standpoint, as is Tony-Jirov for that matter, but for pure drama - that crazy ending - Murphy-Mutti is something else.

    A great fight indeed. Not only the greatest cruiserweight fight but one of my favourites of the 1980s at ANY weight.

    At some point one of the corner men yells out "move your head" which was hilarious.
    The guy in red got hit with a good shot in the end but he was exhausted from punching the other guys head.

    I forgot about Carl Thompson - yep, really fun fighter. I remember his first fight with Eubank was great.
