    What have been the best Boxing fights ever seen? Can you look past Eubank/Benn?

    Four categories?

    Modern (1980 onwards)
    Old (Post War - 1979)
    Relatively Popular (e.g. McClellan/Benn, Benn/Eubank, Jones/Christie)
    Relatively Unknown (e.g. Danny Williams with the dislocated shoulder etc.)

    Specsavers are good quality, and you can get them at a reasonable price.

    They sometimes do a two-4-one offer. Nice:good

    I'll throw in a sleeper:

    Michael Gomez - Alex Arthur: not the big fanfare that you would get with the likes of Eubank-Benn and Lewis-Bruno, but a top quality England/Ireland v Scotland battle.


    For something a bit older:

    Randy Turpin - Ray Robinson I: The greatest win by a British fighter ever, even when you take into account the fact that leading up to the bout Ray had drank and shagged himself to exhaustion.

    Obscure - I'd go for Jimmy Vincent TKO8 David Walker from 2002.
    If you love forehead-to-forehead brutality, that was a great one.
