    Passionate boxing fans know all the run-of-the-mill great fights. They get mentioned over and over. I'm interested in more obscure stuff, fights you don't hear about too often, or fights that have true quality beyond just being blood and guts.

    Let's hear some stuff such as:

    Kid Gavilan vs Billy Graham III (tell me some other great Gavilan fights, I'm going to watch his s**** with Gil Turner soon)

    Cornelius Boza Edwards vs Roberto Elizondo (what a war, but you only ever hear about the Chacon fights, as incredible as they are)

    Toney vs McCallum I & II (quality boxing goes to war, tremendous fights)

    Canzoneri vs Chocolate I (Much like Toney and McCallum, just an absolute battle with the highest of quality)


    Let's hear your best examples, we don't need to hear that you like Corrales vs Castillo or Foreman vs Lyle... Yeah, we all do, everybody has heard of those, bring some originality. The obscure stuff has just as much to offer.

    Here's one I recently came across and I've watched it several times since just for pure wickedness. Everytime I see it I still scream out "Ohhhh!" a couple of times every round. So don't read a lot into this and don't be looking for finesse. Just sit back and enjoy 5 rounds of pure mayhem. This is Curtis Parker against Philip Morefield. Enjoy.

    I remember a few battles in MSG between featherweight and they were wars inside the ring and battles and spilled beer outside it- Jose Fernandez and Walter Seely

    Radames Cabrera and Lenny Harden 1 in MSG

    Mando Ramos vs Sugar Ramos. Another example of quality boxing, but also a total battle that got pretty gruesome.

    Dont know about obscure...but..
    Compared to some of the heavyweight dross we see nowadays..
    Ty Biggs v Jeff Sims.....Tyrell brakes collar bone early and wins fight one handed against world ranked number 6.
    Ty Biggs v David Bey.....real s****...Ty comes back from brink of defeat.
    Ty Biggs v Bowe..... great fight...more action than you'll see in 10 contests put together these days.
    All are on you tube.
