    that's the best fight I ever saw also (limon-Cha.4) also limon-navaratte, Fletcher-singletary, Fletcher-green, Fletcher-nesmith, Duran-leo.1, Duran-moore, Cuevas-ranzany, Briscoe-Guitierres, Franklin-Douglas (I was at these last 2 and the Fletcher and moore fights and Briscoe guitierres and Franklin-Douglas were UNBELIEVEABLE),Pintor Gomez, Mancini-kim (great ****in' fight) and Smokin' Joe Frazier vs. Jerry Quarry and Manuel Ramos.

    I like to do these off the top of my head and heart. The first two were great events and had special meaning because my dad took me to closed circuit venues to see them:

    1.) Leonard - Hearns
    2.) Leonard - Hagler
    3.) Sanchez - Gomez
    4.) Sanchez - Lopez I
    5.) Sanchez - Lopez II
    6.) Holmes - Norton
    7.) Hagler - Hearns
    8.) Saad Muhammad - Lopez II
    9;) Pryor - Arguello I (this would be #1 had Arguello pulled it out, as is, it's a tainted fight)
    10.) Ali - Foreman

    Pete, obviosuly Foster has been outed as a bum hunchback by irtrymariti so the performance is now irrelevant by Frazier, making it not a very good fight.

    Is petie squirting about my list? Yeah, it'll be different now than it was last time. That's what comes of actually watching a lot of boxing I guess...I bet 2/3 of those fights wouldn't have been on my list last time round. Top 3, that'll be it.

    I was a big Leonard fan. My dad actually drove me an hour away to see Leonard - Hearns on the big screen. He bought a ticket for me but not for himself. He was a people person and talked his way in to see the main event.........then for Leonard - Hagler he talked to one of the ushers and got us in the first row right in front of the big screen........All those guys were fighters though. I don't think we hated anybody. Huge respect for all of them. They got paid by fighting the best. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

    Too much to name. I'll just add Rosario-Chavez & Eubank-Watson 1(2 was good also except what happened at the end). I might add more from time to time.
