    Here are a few..


    Benn *v Eubank

    Hagler v Hearns

    Ali v Frazier*

    Duran v Leonard

    Domestic.. Cleverley v Bellew



    Can you think of any more REAL grudge matches and has there ever been a more satisfying conclusion that the Hagler/Hearns outcome?

    de la hoya vs vargas/mayorga both have a great outcome
    groves vs degale, also a very sweet outcome.
    Wladimir vs haye
    tyson vs lewis

    Barrera vs Hamed was a beatdown with some clear bad blood (mostly from Barrera!)

    Leonard - Hagler


    The Hagler - Hearns fight didn't have a satisfying outcome!

    Talking about Honeyghan yesterday reminds me that his bout with Starling was well anticipated and had a colourful build up.The public more than the fighters made Cooney-Holmes a grudge match.
    And there was Vargas-Mayorga.
    My personal favourite apart from the ones mentioned was Leonard-Hearns.That was a grudge match in that it was a genuine match up of two young P4P greats and people couldn't separate them.It was made into a grudge match again,more by the public and media with the charismatic stylist in Ray and the surly young power puncher in Tommy.
    And it delivered.

    And Hatton-Mayweather and Barrera-Hamed were fights that became grude matches late in the day.

    Cotto - Margarito 2 - pretty satisfying outcome for Cotto Fans / Margarito Haters...
