    Does anyone else prefer the 1st Boza-Chacon fight to the 2nd?

    Tough one to call,Flea Man. If these two had fought TEN times,every one would have been a thriller.

    That is a guarantee!

    For me the 12 round distance and poor decision make the 2nd fight a lesser one. More knockdowns and blood but the first features less messy work from both.

    Obviously the rematch IS great! I just prefer the first.

    for me three fights still stand above the rest:

    Diaz - Marquez 1
    Margarito - Cotto 1
    Froch - bute <- there live, atmosphere was out of this world

    After that it's an eclectic taste mainly based around emotion:

    Bruno - McCall
    Tyson - Bruno 2
    Mosley - Margarito
    Hatton - Collazo
    Mayweather - Hatton
    Haye - Ruiz

    Fights that had tragic results, were always sidestepped in these type of discussions.

    I guess I am of a 'certain time' and this type of respect is no more (not least, even if mentioning it, certainly not watching it again). Progress I guess...

    Barkley/Olajide would also fit that criterion

    I was asking for info on a fight I already had :patsch

    It's a fight I got a bit back but never got around to watching and forgot I had it, I figured you'd have info on the fight but then before you got chance to respond I found it again :lol:

    Marcel v Shibata was what I was gonna ask about.
