It's a nightmarishly difficult thing to do. Two contenders for the number one spot that you've missed: Takayama-Rodriguez Jnr. Pompramook-Yaegashi These are top ten locks, could be number one and number two. Another 105lb fight that's a lock for the list: Novoa-Menayothin So, some lower weight masterpieces missing.
I must watch those fights.you might be right because I thoughts There wasn’t as many outstanding contenders for top spot as there was in the previous decade.
Among those lower weight masterpieces: Poorpramook-Hernandez I, Estrada-Viloria, Gonzalez-Cuadras, Tanaka-Kimura, Marquez-Concepcion I, and many more.
Yeah you could squeeze more than one Marquez fight in there. More than one Rodriguez fight, too. But it's the most difficult job. You have to watch 70-100 fights to make a call like this, and who has time?
Thats a good list. Heres my top ten: 1- JMM vs Pac IV 2- Francisco Vargas vs Orlando Salido 3- Orlando Salido vs Juanma Lopez II 4- Roman Gonzalez vs Sridaket Sor Rungvisai I 5- Orlando Salido vs Terdsak Kokkietgym 6- Giovanni Segura vs Hernan Marquez 7- Francisco Vargas vs Takashi Miura 8- Adrian Hernandez vs Kompayak Poorpramook I 9- Yuki Beppu vs Ryota Yada 10- Victor Ortiz vs Andre Berto I
A while ago i made a list of the top 250 fights ever imo. I watched close to 700 fights that i had listed as very good to great. It was very hard but it was also nice to see all those fights. I think if i did it again (i wont lol ) it would come up a completelly different list. Now i just add fights to it if i watch a fight that i think deserves being there.
Maidana could have about 6 places in the top 50 vs Khan Vs broner Vs Soto karass Vs joesito (war) Vs morales honourable mention pushing Mayweather to the brink
I made lists of the 50 greatest fights of 80’s and 90’s and 2000’s aswell.i had to add fights too.when I first made the 00’s list I hadn’t seen Gonzalez v letterlough and it was one of the very best of the decade.i had a list of 96 fights written down for the 10’s list.very hard to get it down to 50.james Kirkland had a few fights in contention v angulo,tapia,Alvarez none of the made the list
I could have put the josesito Lopez fight in there.the mayweather fight was very good but there were many many better fights including others that I left out.
