    I just wanted to point out that Sanchez and Nelson did NOT "trade knockdowns."

    Now the entire list is invalid. :bart

    I feel very fortunate to have seen 37 of those fights.

    I would put the first Frazier-Ali fight as No. 1.

    I just want to thank Tbooze for posting this. And thank the internet for making most of these fights watchable. And thank the fighters for showing that sometimes valor gets the better of discretion.

    That's only a convention, political correctness (to the British), so to say. It was considered a world lightweight championship bout. Certainly more deserving to be called a fight for the world title than some of the ABC bouts on the list.

    Glad they put Mclellan v Benn there, the best fight ive ever seen and one which is often ignored due to the tragic outcome.
    As for the others, thanks for posting i will have a look at the ones i havent seen. Which is most of them :oops:
