****DECADES SURVEYS 2 - Best 10 Fights 1990-1999 - DEADLINE March 6****

Oh, didn't know this was going on already. I'll whip up a list in a couple of days or so.

 

Back then the scoring was a little different , now if a fighter goes down he loses the round 10-8 . That has not always been the case although down McCauley in some of those rounds got up and actually boxed well enough to keep it to a one point round . And I am not sure maybe even get a share of some of the rounds in which he went down . If you watch this fight remember to score it the proper way . For me the modern scoring is wrong if fighter A hits the canvas but then gets up and out boxes/scores boxer B surely a two point margin is unfair

 

My next list will have at least one surprise on it

 

I have a few in mind that I really enjoyed watching also they were not at world level

 

1. Michael Carbajal KO7 Humberto Gonzalez I
2. Riddick Bowe UD12 Evander Holyfield I
3. Ivan Robinson SD10 Arturo Gatti I
4. Marco Antonio Barrera TKO12 Kennedy McKinney
5. Azumah Nelson D12 Jeff Fenech I
6. Paulie Ayala UD12 Johnny Tapia I
7. Chris Eubank TKO9 Nigel Benn I
8. Saman Sorjaturong KO7 Humberto Gonzalez
9. Gerald McClellan TKO5 Julian Jackson I
10. James Buster Douglas KO10 Mike Tyson

Damn tough. Could easily do a list next weekend and have a completely different list. A lot of interchangeable fights and quite a few controversial fights. Obviously, the one that sticks out is Benn-McClellan. To me, that fight would easily be top 3 on my list, but the whole ending puts a damper to it. A lot like Antonio Margarito-Miguel Cotto in the last decade. If we did this list before the Mosley fight, that Margarito-Cotto fight would have easily been top 3. But, these two fights are just uncomfortable to think about, obviously, the Benn-McCellan fight more so, but it's in that same vein.

 

Remember Gainer vs Kelley? My god. That was brutal. Kelley's eye
