Just to be clear, you’re asking for both a rating from ‘Pretty good’ to ‘ATG’ against each fight and then a rating out of 10 or the rating from...
Liking this particularly for number 9!
Basilio-Robinson was 15 rounds. Others are good though. Loved the Eubank-Thompson fight!
Jose Napoles v Curtis Cokes 1 Maybe the best title-winning performance on film. Cokes was a very good boxer and he was completely schooled by...
Post Mancini-Kim, boxing started to enter a new era of 12 round title fights. Fifteen rounders still had a few years to run but the 12 round era...
No chance at all, I’m afraid.
Brilliant fight.
Rubin Carter v George Benton This was a FOTW from a couple of years back which I didn’t get to at the time. Tricky fight to score. Carter put...
@George Crowcroft - one for you to comment on as I know how much you revere this fight and that crazy round 5.
If this is the post-Foster light heavyweights then we’re talking about a steady stream of terrific title holders from Galindez and Conteh to Saad...
Well, he come out on top by the early 50s but the talent pool wasn’t as wide by then and he wasn’t top dog in the 40s - Charles was. But...

One of the best of the last 30 years. I’d rate him higher H2H than legacy purely because he threw away about 8-9 years of his career by losing...
He’d have his work cut out against a prime Donald Curry. Would be a very intriguing clash.
I seem to have a perpetual backlog of about 120 fights to watch, although not all those would be good choices for a scoring thread.
