    Not many! But I have a preference for 15 rounders so stuff that moved into the 13, 14 and 15 I tend to look at as superior (whether it is or not). That's just my own bias though.

    Can't warch it. Forever tainted by Diegos known cheating and Weeks complete incompetence. Can't watch it.......

    Mancini VS Kim is better IMO.

    Agree. One of the best fights I ever saw. I'll add
    Arguello Escalera 1
    Chacon Boza 1-2
    Franklin Johnson 1-2 ..Kate's
    Barerra Morales 1-2
    Hagler Mugabi
    Fenech Villasana
    Little Red Ayala
    Holy Bowe 1
    These come to mind immediately

    Depends on what you like? Kinda like finding 20 hot girls and debating which is the hottest...depends on what you like.

    Great fight that never disappoints, but if asked for a recommendation this does not usually go on my list. But great action packed fight either way

    It's a great fight but personally I think there's quite alot that I'd rank higher but the one's I'd definitely have higher are

    Chacon vs Limon 4
    Moore vs Durrele 1
    Gatti vs Ward 1
    Chang vs Tokashiki
    Saad vs Lopez 2
    Saad vs Johnson 1
    Letterlough vs Gonzalez
    Lyle vs Foreman
    Golota vs Bowe 2
    Holyfield vs Bowe 1
    FoTC and TiM
    Little Red vs Ayala

    There's probably some more that I'm forgetting

    Yeah, that's true. It's a great fight but it's not one I find myself going back to. It's not a personal favourite, even if it is an objectively great fight. The ending was incredible by any standard though.

    The Ward-Kovalev re-match is about the worst handling of a fight I can remember. Chose to ignore the low blows which led to Kovalev getting buzzed then ignored the finishing combination of entirely all but shots and gave zero time to recover. Looked fixed but maybe just incompetence.
