    Thought it looked wrong when I typed it. But I thought I was safe going with Earl as the first name. :?

    i will always remember that fight. especially this bit

    where earl goes down and the towel comes flying in. Vann picks up the towel throws it back and earl gets up lands a few combos and katsidas is down.

    that was a quality fight

    .............Chacon-Limon IV

    Morales-Barrera I
    Saad-Lopez II
    Lopez-Ayala
    Marquez-Vasquez III



    Any of these could be swapped out for equally qualified bouts such as Chacon-Boza II, Saad-Johnson I and II, Sithchatchawal-Monshipour, Seabrooks-Jacob, Carbajal-Gonzalez I, etc, etc........

    Ive only ever seen highlights of their 1st 2 fights, I havent seen any of the 3rd fight but I plan on ordering the trilogy very soon as I hear great things about all 3 fights.

    Many excellent fights already listed above.

    Some of my favourites were:

    1/ Bowe vs Hoyfield III - the ending shocked me & split the rubber Bowe's way.

    2/ Hagler vs Hearns - short but unforgetable!

    3/ Archie Moore vs Durelle (1958) - Moore was down 3 times in 1st round and gone for all money, down again in the 4th. Got up and put Durelle down 4 times and won - wow!
