    Ibeabuchi v Tua was a pretty good war I thought.

    Sanders / Wlad, because so few people gave Sanders a chance

    and

    Sanders / Rahman which was just all-action, even though my man lost.

    I will focus on HW matches that don't get as much love, and not recycle the same classics we already know about and discuss:

    Golata vs Bowe II
    Alex Stewart vs Michael Moore
    Franz Botha vs Shannon Briggs
    Holmes vs Cooney

    Ali/Foreman I like to watch. Foreman really worked Ali's body especially the right side but Ali took it well. Had that fight gone on longer and Foreman not been exhausted who know what those rights to the body would have done.

    For action: Riddick Bowe - Evander Holyfield I

    The infighting skill they both showed us a pleasure to watch. Fighting after the bell, all of it.

    For skill: Anything Joe Louis.

    Scheming, Baer, Galento...it is a pleasure to watch Joe operate.

    Lots of my favorites have already been mentioned.

    How about Bonecrusher Smith vs Frank Bruno? Post fight Smith said "Lord bless him he finally stopped throwing that jab" as the reason he ko'd Bruno.

    Dempsey-Firpo is an insane fight to watch as well.

    Weaver v Coetzee was a fantastic fight. It was broadcast live on a Saturday afternoon in the UK with Marvin Hagler co-commentating with Reg Gutteridge.

    If you don't mind black & white, Jack Bodell v Billy Walker is a must watch.

    I haven’t finished Ali Norton 3 in one sitting ever... but the other two are okay I wouldn’t say they aren’t amusing.
