    I thought I'd show you guys this fight. Very underrated slugfest and it's really worth your time.

    It is underrated! It's non-stop action for ten rounds and people just don't talk about it.

    Thanks for posting.

    What stood out to me was Jones fighting Chuvalo's fight. Perhaps this is due to editing down to the most exciting excerpts, but Jones rarely seems to be trying to box and move against the bigger and slower man. He just stands in front of him trading punches.

    Jones was a natural action packed fighter. He is without a doubt the most exciting heavyweight fighter of the 60s. Ali, Folley, Machen, Foster and now Chuvalo. His bout with Johnson and his fight against Von Clay is said to be exhilarating as well

    Hey Jason. Actually, I have this whole fight (have I posted it?), and the whole fight is this action-packed.

    I agree! Plus the Bob Foster fight is fantastic!

    I just got Von Clay III; I'll upload it soon.

    if you've posted the fight, I'd like to have the link. I've always thought Doug Jones was an excellent fighter. He looks like he could be a middleweight if he wanted to be but he gives the heavyweights tough fights. Chuvalo is interesting to watch also. He is better skilled than a lot of people give him credit for being. He doesn't get hit as much as people think.

    The best of the fringe contenders IMO along with Daniels.

    Short of the elite contenders in Machen, Williams, Terrell, etc.
