    The Harding-Andries trilogy was exciting.

    @InMemoryofJakeLamotta
    First question - have you seen all the obvious ones?

    There are a few lesser known gems I could recommend but there are plenty of more obvious examples than those e.g. Matthew Saad Muhammad fights at light heavyweight.

    Here are a few gems that you may or may not have seen:

    Middleweight:
    -Earl Hargrove v Donald King
    -Robbie Sims v Iran Barkley
    -Don Lee v Tony Sibson
    -Almost any of Frank The Animal Fletcher’s early ‘80s fights.

    Light heavyweight:
    -Julio Cesar Gonzalez v Julian Letterlough
    -Tomasz Adamek v Paul Briggs 1 and 2
    -Marvin Johnson v Jean-Marie Emebe

    Monzon vs Valdez 2 is pretty great if you got time for a 15 rounder!

    Maybe obvious but Jamie Moore fights are always worth a watch!
    Moore vs Macklin
    Moore vs Rhodes
    Moore vs Jones 3

    Any involving Saad Muhammad and Marvin Johnson at Lt. Heavy.
    Some nostalgia? Zale vs Graziano.
    or Hagler vs Mugabi.

    Sadly only the third Zale vs Graziano fight was filmed is that correct?

    Yes…unless you consider the 2nd fight that was recorded by someone from the stands watchable footage.

    We also found out the answer to the eternal question - which is better, a Beast or an Animal?
