    Awesome. Thanks for that. Hagler/Hearns a little too high at #7 for my liking. It should be a top 3-5 EASY.

    You know what I mean when I stated it should be 3-5 :-(

    I'd also slip Castillo Corrales inside the top 10-15. Maybe take Conn/Louis out. It was a good fight but it wasn't that great.

    This was written in 1996, so there are a bunch of fights that could be included in a new rendition of the Top 100.

    Joe Walcott - Kid Lavigne I was considered by many the greatest fight they ever saw, this was stated by many authors up until early 1920s, at least. It is not even included on this list.

    these lists are so subjective. Hard to really get muchout of them. Not a bad list, but still subjective.

    Was for the 'America's title' not a 'World title', so it would not of been considered.

    Me too. This generation's version of it (Vasquez-Marquez III) would be a good choice too. So would Sithchatawal-Monshipour, or MAB-Morales I and III...

    Totally agree Webbiano. :good

    Dempsey-Firpo being above the FOTC makes me physically sick. :barf
