Some fantastic picks here..... Most of them immediately popped in my head when I saw the post. One I don't agree with (Arguello vs Pryor, with the usual excuses) One not mentioned yet is Benitez vs Hamsho, Moore and Hilton. Watching those three fighters land punches on Benitez consistently where much better fighters like Cervantes, Duran , Palomino, Hearns and Leonard could not, was very depressing, sad to see.......
Ali-Holmes Ali-Berbick Leonard- Camacho De La Hoya- Pacquiao De La Hoya- Camacho (albeit for different reasons)
That's the one for me too. Saad took a hellacious beating in there, sad to see such a courageous and once great fighter past his best.
One not mentioned is Iran Barkley beating Gerrie Coetzee. The guy who was beaten by a guy who was beaten by Estaban DeJesus beat the guy who once beat Mike Dokes.
I've told this one before but I will never forget when Norris beat Leonard, and seeing my buddy's dad wandering around the house almost in tears, repeating, "they beat him bad...they beat him bad..."
Barkley-Coetzee was the single worst fight I have ever seen between two name fighters. Neither guy should have been anywhere near a ring at that point.
After Roy Jones beat John Ruiz in early 03, people were talking about him as a candidate for being the p4p GOAT. After Geln Johnson knocked him out in late 04, I was worried that I had just seen him killed on live TV.
