    great Chris, I'll check that one out, too. Pintor was always pretty reliable for that kind of thing

    Yes. Everyone has seen Foreman/Lyle and I'm a LHW nut who's a huge fan of Griffith. They're all wicked, but none are top 20 fights OAT imo, and I'm working on a top 100 right now. Chacón vs Limón IV is 15 rounds of WAR.

    ok, even though I don't believe any fight could surpass those, I will take your word for it on Chacon-Limon IV until I see it. Then, after I've seen it, I will argue with you on it. Btw, how long ago was it you saw my Top 3?

    A couple months for Griffith vs Paret, about a year since Foreman vs Lyle, and a few days since Moore vs Durrele.

    even if Chacon-Limon IV could rank higher than my top 3, I think my top 3 are still non-negotiables of a top 20 list

    Pintor-Owen is the single most disturbing stoppage to watch in history.

    I cant rewatch that fight.

    Definitely not the latter. Tommy didnt die. It didnt even end his prime.

    I could watch Mercer-Morrison all day.

    Not of historical importance, but idk when else I'd be able to bring this fight up.

    Petr Petrov came up in weight on late notice as a 35 year old against Ivan Baranchyk a few years ago. Got knocked down repeatedly but showed all kinds of heart. Fight got stopped in the 8th. Made me a fan of his though. No quit in him, and he was outmatched from the jump.

    right on Mercer-Morrison, but I don't see how anybody could watch that fight all day. I could watch it once, and then maybe a second time, but there are too many way better fights to watch to spend all day watching what was merely a good scrap.

    Why? He quit.

    Ill take Nelson-Gans.

    And in regards to the mention of Robinson from his fight with Maxim. I would take Joey. It's not like he had an air conditioner in his corner.
