5 favourite fights

In no particular order;

Conteh vs Saad 1

Holyfield vs. Bowe I

Toney vs. Vassily Jirov

 

Barrera vs Morales 1
Pac vs Marquez 1

Pryor-Arguello 1 was a notable omission from my list :good

 

How my list has changed

1. Alexis Arguello vs Aaron Pryor I
2. Carmen Basilio vs Ray Robinson I
3. Bobby Chacon vs Rafeal Limon IV
4. Marco Antonio Barrera vs Erik Morales I
5. Ray Robinson vs Jake Lamotta VI

Not changed taht much actually

 

jullian letter lough vs julio gonzales ,harris vs jefferson,ward vs augustus,duddy vs campas,maskev vs rahman 1 , second tier top 5

 

Sal Sanchez v Wilfredo Gomez
Morales v Barrera 1
Carbajal v Gonzalez 1
Mosley v Margarito
Duran v SRL 1

 

Number 4 is the best on there by far and to coin a Bill Butcher phrase.

"If you think otherwise you know **** all and should **** the **** off"

 

As a competitive fight it should be number one in my book as well. I just prefer Sanchez v Gomez as its my all time favourite fighter putting an absolute beatdown on an undefeated, prime ATG.

 

Above his best weight though, it should be said. Nonetheless, I completely understand. :good

 

All my 5 fav fights feature my 2 fav fighters probably.....

Ali-Williams
Ali-Foreman
Ali-Frazier III
Morales-Barrera I
Morales-Pacquiao I

There are MANY more fights that I admire either because of the ferocity, art or both but those fights gave me the most pleasure as Ali & Morales are my all time fav fighters.

:good

 

Well, who in the world could NOT have EM-MAB I as 1 of their top fights ?

Ps. I noticed you have `Happy birthday campeon` above your Barrera avater as he has just turned 36 on Jan 17th.... the reason I know this ?

Muhammad Ali turned 68 & my son (yes, you read correctly, my only child) turned 5 on the very same day.....

Whats the odds of that ?.... my boy having the same birthday as both my fav & least fav fighters, Ali & MAB :rofl.... weird world eh ?

 

Your son has absolutely no idea how lucky he is to be sharing birthdays with those two. The two fighters I mostly admire. I never knew you were a father bro, nice one. Get him in a gym sharpish.
