    Personally i love Jones-Tarver 1, Beterbiev-Bivol 1 was amazing technical fight, Foster-Finnegan was entertaining, Spinks-Qawi too due to the high quality from both guys and the contrast in their styles.

    Off the top of my head...

    Moore-Durelle I
    Saad-Lopez 1 & 2
    Saad-Johnson 1 & 2
    Galindez-Kates 1

    Would have loved to have seen some of the Moore-Charles contests and the Bivins -Marshall contest for the duration title.

    Think Holyfield v Qawi was at cruiserweight. Still was a great fight

    Any of the Light Heavyweight fight of the late 70s early 80s too many just to list 5.

    Anything from Qawi, Muhammad, Johnson, Conteh, Spinks, you can't go wrong.

    Trust you to only name black fighters. You are one of the most blatantly racially biased posters on the site.

    No mention of Adamek-Briggs 1 and 2, or Beterbiev-Bivol 1 and 2. Kovalev- Ward 1. Beterbiev-Gvozdyk, no Jeff Harding v Dennis Andries 1 No Dariusz Michalcewski fights, no Gene Tunney fights, No Harry Greb fights, no Billy Conn fights.

    You are as racist and racially biased as it gets. As your entire posting history shows every day you are here. It's like black fighters only exist to you. And the fighters you are constantly trying to minimize are exclusively white. Racist imbecile with always predictable posts.

    Bobby Czyz-Tim Broady is an underrated war.

    I haven't seen the Clay Turner v Norfolk trilogy you know because of the year but apparently that was lit.

    Marshall v Bivins for the duration title was a really good fight.
