80s light heavyweight fights recommendations

For sure, but they’re both a few biscuits on the north side of light heavyweight.

 

If it features Spinks, Johnson, Saad, Mustafa Muhammad, Quawi it's almost always more than worth checking out. You are about to embark upon a great journey.

 

I'd recommend Michael Spinks-Eddie Davis for a really tough scoring chore. One of the toughest I think.

 

Yes you certainly wern't wrong on that one I had huge amounts of trouble scoring it. Eddie Davis is very underrated he gave a prime Spinks, Qawi, absolute hell that takes some doing.

 

Any Qawi fight for me until Foreman. Even though he lost that one, he nailed George with some good punches, and I think quit more due to being out of shape than hurt. 222lbs and drinking heavily by then.

 

Strictly 80s only:

• Matthew Saad Muhammad v Yaqui Lopez 2 (1980)
• Eddie Mustafa Muhammad v Marvin Johnson (1980)
• Michael Spinks v Yaqui Lopez (1981)
• Matthew Saad Muhammad v Jerry Martin (1981)
• Dwight Qawi v Matthew Saad Muhammad 1 (1981)
• Dwight Qawi v Eddie Davis (1982)
• Michael Spinks v Dwight Qawi (1983)
• Marvin Johnson v Leslie Stewart 1 (1986)
• Marvin Johnson v Jean-Marie Emebe (1986)
• Prince Charles Williams v Bobby Czyz 1 (1987)
• Sugar Ray Leonard v Donny Lalonde (1988)
• Jeff Harding v Dennis Andries 1 (1989)

 

That's a good one.
I loved their fights, scrappy, everything thrown in bouts.

 

Great list!
