    It would be a travesty if this didn't make a top 100.

    Michael Carbajal vs Humberto Gonzalez I

    That fight would make my Top 10 most probably. I voted that fight 'best of the 1990s' on here a couple of years ago and I still think it probably is.


    My vote here goes to: Robin Blake vs Tony Baltazar (a bit of a change from the usual suspects) an excellent see-saw fight, full of action.

    It's great when a huge showdown like that delivers the goods and then some.

    Number 56 needs a Roman Numeral. Arguello-Escalera I is already listed so I would assume this is Arguello-Escalera II. Both great fights.
