    :lol:

    Apologies. Transitional period in my life happened to correspond with this.

    I will be getting back to this. In fact, I will add the 1980s poll momentarily. It may take me a few weeks yet to get the results up from the 90s poll, and I have more work that still requires my attention on the 2000s survey. So I'm going to spread these out a bit more, starting with the 80s survey. Apologies for the delay, and thank you all for your patience and participation!

    :thumbsup

    The 1990’s was every bit as good, in some cases better than the 70’s. Picking the top ten matches here is not easy!



    1 Tyson vs. Douglas. A 48-1 underdog pulls of a great performance, overcoming a knockdown to finish Tyson, and take the title. People remember where they were, and who they were with when this happened.



    2. Robinson vs Gatti. Gatti deserves to be in the hall of fame for memorable fights. This one was a dozy.



    3. Carbajal vs Gonzalez. What boxing wouldn’t give to have a lower weight fighter like Carbajal around today. Gonzalez wasn’t anyone’s second banana. Pun intended. He was great too.



    4. Tua vs Ibeabuchi. Bombs were landed in a fight that set the record for punches thrown in a heavyweight fight. Very close.



    5. Hamed vs Kelly. Plenty of knockdowns here. Bad chins + offensive minded fighters and pride = a great recipe for action.



    6. Fenech vs Nelson.



    7. Bowe vs Holyfield 1, round 10 was fantastic.



    8. Morrison vs Ruddock. A gun fight at close range, Morrison crushed Ruddock with a left hook that bring him off his feet, and then finishes him off before he runs out of gas.



    9. Chavez vs Taylor, not a great fight, but a great and dramatic ending with some controversy.



    10. Benn vs McClellan

    Rumsfeld I bet you wish you had got this sorted a few weeks back . Will there be enough poster's left soon to be able to make up enough numbers to list a worthwhile poll result

    Lets hope so
