    I don't think Ali from FOTC had his greatest fight either.


    Conn vs Louis
    SRR vs Maxim
    Arguello vs Pryor
    Mavrovic vs Lennox
    Vitali vs Lennox
    Derevyanchenko vs GGG

    Morales-Maidana. Especially with his eye completely shut from early on.

    Basilio against Robinson in the rematch. Another with the eye shut pretty early in the fight but stayed game the whole time.

    Charles against Marciano in their first fight.

    Meldrick Taylor against Chavez.

    Mosley against Cotto.

    A southpaw all action LHW who fought the best or some whiny dame who always begs me to come out because 'it's unhealthy'?

    Quite an easy choice really.

    How could I not? I feel apart of this deranged little Internet cult that obsesses over boxing history and worships anyone between Mickey Walker and Freddie Steele or Riddick Bowe and Primo Carnera.

    One of my favourite fights that first one. An unsatisfactory end but brilliant action up to that point.

    I didn't think it was right to mention him in a thread about losing
