    I recently watched Clifford Etienne vs Lawrence Clay Bey, a underrated heavyweight war.

    What other underrated heavyweight wars stick out to you, which don't seem to get the recognition they deserve?

    Coetzer vs Du Plooy was a great little 2 round fight. Du Plooy was so done after those knockdowns, he looked like his spirit had left him.

    Brewster-Krasniqi
    Harris-Jefferson
    Golota-Pouha
    Amir Mansour has a few
    Breazeale-Izu

    Edit: technically it was at 175, Gonzales-Leterlough was the same as watching a sloppy heavyweight brawl.

    Alex Stewart - Ezra Sellers = 3 rounds, Sellers dropped 4 times, Stewart 3 times

    Derrick Jefferson - Maurice Harris - great fight!

    Lance Whitaker - Lou Saverese - good scrap, Steve Smoger gave long count when Lou was battered and dropped. Lou won in 10 rounds

    David Izon - Derrick Jefferson - 'came from behind' win for Izon
    David Izon - Darroll Wilson - Izon was almost KTFO'd in round 1, knocked down and on the verge of getting stopped, came back and won in 4
    David Izon - Terrence Lewis - Izon was badly hurt and then dropped, stops Lewis in 5

    Sergey Lyakhovich vs Friday Ahunanya

    Carl Williams - Jesse Ferguson - Williams gets dropped hard twice, comes back and KOs Ferguson
    Buster Douglas - Jesse Ferguson - round 1 was great. Douglas hurt early, almost KTFOs Ferguson with an uppercut at the end of round 1.

    Oleg Maskaev - Courage Chabalala

    Bert Cooper vs Lauren Ross - great KO, Cooper at his best
    Bert Cooper vs Henry Tillman (CW)- one of the great obscure fights, very entertaining, worth watching!

    Chris Byrd - Jimmy Thunder (one of the rare fights, where Byrd knocks down and later stops his opponent)

    Tyrell Biggs - David Bey

    Jeremy Williams - Marion Wilson - Williams comes very agressive, Wilson takes all punches and then drops Wiliams, but eventually loses by decision

    Jeremy Williams - Everton Davis

    Greg Page---Coetzee is worth a look.
    Brewster---Liakhovich is great
    Wladimir---Derrick Jefferson were both winging away
    A nice prelim bout to watch is the Leland Hardy--Ike Padilla fight

    Two 12 rounders I enjoyed immensely was Patterson v Chuvalo and Tua v Ike. However, they were probably too high profile for this subject matter when looking for the more obscure. The first one I thought of in that vein was the bout between Mo Harris and Derrick Jefferson, which has already been mentioned. I also thought when everyon was mentioning Ezra Sellers, about his fight with Carl Thompson and the knockdown dragout affair that it was. But upon looking at it I believe Sellers had dropped down to Cruiser for that one. But to add one more I would add the bout between Shannon Briggs and Darrol 'Doin Damage' Wilson. A phenominal win for the underdog and well worth watching.
