    To be honest, I've only seen the Minter and Hagler fights. I saw enough to know. I want to see more.

    Imagine him vs Benn!

    You've got to watch his fight with Frankie Lucas mate. Very young, catapulted into the spotlight and just utterly thrilling.
    Sibbo v Benn ? Hold on to your hats !

    Well, how about we trade. Dunno if you saw it already, but you can't go without seeing this. It's a little hidden classic.

    I have seen it but its been a while and my memory is a bit **** so i cant tell you if its good or not maybe ill watch it again.

    From Villasana i like his fights with Fenech, Cepeda, Hodkinson 1, Mercado,Garza and Nelson 1 mind you not all of these are great fights but well worth the watch.

    Villasana was a tough hombre.

    I've seen the Fenech fight, and God damn, what a war. I've not seen the others, but I'll have a look.

    Would have loved to see this! Say what one will about Ortiz, he had entertaining bouts one way or another.

    Nice find! The flushing Flash is one of the more underrated talents IMO. His list of opponents faced is impressive. If he was an 'A-side' boxer w/ a promoter solidly backing him, he could have gone on to do more IMO. It feels odd that he never held one of the major titles. He DID, however, help ushering in the little guys in cable boxing.

    Kelley was insanely exciting.

    Bro I've been looking for it for the last couple months with no luck. I did discover it's available in his full career boxset, which I may buy.

    Caveman Lee had some fun scraps. His fight against John LoCicero is a really entertaining watch.
