Historical fights I knew the result of:

I think they have not linked youtube properly.

This to me is the standard:

Beat that, and you probably have the winner.

 

Bazooka Limon - Bobby Chacon IV. In a to-and-fro war, Chacon scores a knockdown in the dying seconds of the fight.
Without that knockdown, he loses a decision but instead he wins-that is how close things were. Amazing fight.

 

Some great picks McVey.

It was a BS decision, but the first Nelson-Fenech fight was a war.

 

They could have held that in a phone box. Great fight.

 

Add Franklin Kates1
Fenech Vilosana
Mancini Kim
Duran Moore and Barkley
Braxton Holy
Bowe Holy1
Benn McClellan
Duran DeJesus 3
Zarate Zamora
Arguello Escalera both

 

'Greatest' or Best? Louis-Schmeling, Ali-Foreman and the Benn-Eubank fights were great for the importance on the sport, but the best fight ever was Hagler-Hearns.

Obviously Robinson-Jake St.V.Day, Benn-McClellan, Watson-Eubank II, Thompson-Eubank I and the Bowe-Holyfield and Gatti-Ward fights are up there, too.

 

It's hard to top Limon-Chacon IV. Pryor-Arguello I and Gatti-Ward I are close contenders.

 

I made a distinction between fights I viewed retrospectively and those I saw live/without knowing the result.
Obviously knowing the outcome considerably lessens the excitement and drama. The Fenech v Nelson fight is a worthy addition,and the Bowe v Holy fights:good

Benn v McClellan too, I confidently picked McClellan , how wrong was I?

I looked for fights that had ebbs and flows in them.
I'm sure the Dempsey v Willard fight and the second Louis v Schmeling fight, were awesome spectacles historically speaking , but they were also one side blow outs and not competitive.
