    Lee-Lo Cicero
    Arguello-Mancini
    Frias-Mancini
    Limon-Bethelmy
    Limon-Boza Edwards
    Navarrete-Limon I
    Arguello-Ganigan
    Homes-Cooney
    Holmes-Snipes
    Laciar-Nery

    Chacon-Limon 4 still stands alone as the best thing I've ever seen.

    This is from 1980 to 1983, you need to check the 1983 to 1986 thread.

    I had to divide the thread because so many fights could be nominated in the 80s!

    This is like choosing which of your arms you prefer. There’s no really wrong choice with any of these - all amazing, amazing fights.
