    Great list, I love it when someone puts some forgotten classics in the mix. I think most people would miss 6 of those.

    The list does lack like a few hundred other great middleweight fights though.

    Great picks so far. Here's a few which haven't been mentioned yet:

    Graziano versus Zale III

    The first fight between Jorge Fernando Castro and John David Jackson.

    The second one between Valdez and Bennie Briscoe.

    Edit: Just saw the original post did mention Benn-Eubank I - my mistake!

    Looks as if I didn't word that very well. My mistake (again). The third is the best by general acclamation and the one that's available in full to watch, as you allude to. That's what I meant - sometimes the old memory gets a little hazy.
