    Just a few of my favourite tactical fights.

    Ali vs. Frazier 1 & 2

    Frazier making Ali punch down and trying to time left hooks. Ali ripping right uppercuts and left hooks at Frazier (see the second fight round 1). Amazing! Classic fights but under rated in terms of the skill implemented by both men.

    Leonard vs. Benitez

    Boxing chess at it's best.

    Hearns vs. Benitez

    Hearns doing his best to KO Benitez and Wilfred using amazing defence to survive.

    Benitez vs. Duran

    A clinic by Wilfred.

    Holmes vs. Witherspoon

    Controversial? Maybe! Great boxing match!

    Judah vs. Spinks

    The first fight was the best southpaw vs. southpaw match up I've seen.

    De La Hoya vs. Whitaker

    Whitaker turning back the clock. Oscar having a nightmare landing the left hook. I like De La but thought Whitaker won!

    De La Hoya vs. Trinidad

    Oscar takes Tito to school and gets robbed. Oscar at his best as a boxer. No doubt!

    Any others???

    I wouldnt say HearnséBenitez...sure it was battle of the Titans but Hearns can pretty much box like Benitez. Same with Oscar-Tito...unbelievable matchup but style wise not much different.

    Boxer, Slugger...Ali - Foreman..thats great to analyze.. Pac-JMM as well
