    Robert Hines vs Matthew Hilton. Larry Holmes vs Earnie Shavers 2 and Larry Holmes vs Renaldo Snipes. I suppose Muhammad Ali vs Henry Cooper 1 also falls into this category.

    Bobby Chacon vs 'Bazooka" Limon #4 ?
    Possibly the 2nd/3rd greatest action fight
    of the 80's.
    That fight wouldv'e been stopped as early
    as the 8th rd in today's game. (Yes,it was that brutal)
    That it went 15rds with that amazing ending
    was magic in itself.

    Chavez vs Taylor

    Chavez had to slowly break him down, Taylor had to much to deal with in the early goings and Chavez had to weather the storm and slowly broke Taylor down.

    I'm baffled that no one mentioned McCallum vs Julian Jackson.
