    Really good fight that, great actually. Nice chess match and plenty of action. Tapia was the man at 115

    All of it does not exist. Real shame. I think all the Ross-Mclarnin- Canzoneri fights were superb stuff, although my favrouite Ross fight is the Petrolle match up.

    Bollocks. How the **** a fight from 1953 be in your favourites is beyond me. How many times have you been called an elitist on here before ?:hi:

    Well you haven't impressed me with that list. Not one bit, I bet you there was more drama in Floyd/Oscar than most of them

    I don't have a top ten and with starting this thread you'd think I should have a go eh? :lol:

    But I'm seriously stumped.

    One fight I love and sometimes find room in my top ten and then don't (no logical reason) is Barrera v McKinney. That my friends is something you gotta watch if you aint seen it. A bit of needle beforehand too which always helps in my opinion/

    For one sided fights I nominate Jones vs Toney.

    Mainly because I've got a strong dislike for Toney, a complete and utter bellend.

    -------------------------------------

    I missed Corrales vs Castillo I :-(

    Others..... Juan Manuel Marquez has been in some great fights, both Pacquiao fights..... Casamayor, Diaz etc.

    Yeah, that was another one i bought as a kid. Anyone remember them videos you could get in market stalls, with the numbers on the sides, like they were from a magazine or somethin? I got that on one of them.

    Casamayor was one of my favourite fighters in his prime, so good to just watch, that lateral movement was serious beezwax.

    Loved him pal.

    If you haven't seen them (which i'm sure you have) Tapia and Ayala fights were magnificent

    Yep class fight. That was the first headline fight for those HBO Boxing After Dark shows. What a fight. Pretty sure Barrera lamped him pre fight too in a presser :yep

    I know. I love that kind of thing 'spice' before a fight.

    Barrera-Morales is defo one of the greatest trilogies of all time, if anyone disagrees i view them as a joke tbh
