    Everyone argues over top 100 boxers.best heavyweight etc.But really it means nothing because its the same names being bandied around

    Far more interesting for me is what the best fights you have ever seen

    Could be a multiple knockdown thriller or a tense chessmatch or a favourite boxer finally winning a coveted belt in a ugly fight

    These are your best fights you have ever seen,any mentioned will have their own merits

    My Top 10 in no order

    Katsidis v earl
    Benn v mcclellan
    Kirkland v angulo
    Hatton v tzyu
    Calzaghe v lacy
    Hamed v kelly
    Salido v juanma lopez 2
    Walsh v appleby
    Mitchell v j murray
    Froch v bute

    Corrales-Castillo I, Barrera-Morales I, Gatti-Ward I, any of the Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez trilogy, JMM-Juan Diaz. I'd also recommend Ron Lyle-Earnie Shavers...

    Pretty much this.

    Throw the Manny vs Morales/JMM fights in there, Benn vs G-Man, Lacy/Calzaghe, Froch/Kessler, JMM/Katsidis and you're good to go.

    Froch-Bute? It was a one sided beating.
