    Zaragoza. Very entertaining. Always came to fight, and he would bleed like a WWE crash test dummy. I really enjoyed his fights with Paul Banke, but he also had exciting fights with a bunch of all time greats.

    Yes! His Tatsuyoshi fights are good too, although the fights with Zárate and Morales are a little sad.

    Somsak fight was awesome, but I haven't seen much more than that.

    Check out his fights with Shigero Nakazato and Julio Zarate those two are pretty good.

    His two fights with Salim Medjkoune are worth a watch too but not as good as the ones mentioned above.

    Ive seen my fair share but not as much as i want to specially lately. I try to watch all the great fights i see mentioned anywhere.

    The problem is that my memory is not the best plus sometimes a weird thing happens with some fights where i change my opinion everytime i see them, sometimes i think they are great then i rewatch it and think that they arent that great then another watch and they are great again.

    Today i rewatched the second Salido vs Juanma Lopez fight and it wasnt as good as i remember, it had two great rounds and Salido got dropped early on but for the most part Salido was in control. This fight will take a fall in the rankings thats for sure.

    I need to rewatch Tyson vs Holy, Sanchez vs Gomez and Leonard vs Hagler i think i might be overrating those fights.

    But i digress enjoy the Villasana fights the guy was tough as nails.

    I try to do similar, but obviously only being into a few years I've got a lotta catching up to do.

    I figured the best way of doing it is to set a goal for a top 100 fights, that I'm never ever gonna be happy with and want to keep adding to. So I'm basically always learning and adding more to my 'repitoir'.
    I have a similar issue, some times I'll watch a fight and think it was okay, or amazing then I'll go back it was something completely different.
    Again, I do a similar thing. I love both Gomez and Pintor, but I can't help but think that their fight is really overrated.

    And I actually agree with the Salido/Juanma fight, I thought it was really good, but not WW3 as it was described as.
    Cheers mate, will do. I watched Esparragoza/Villasana today, not as good as the Fenech fight, but definitely a good-un. Certainly one to watch if you can't remember it.

    He was known as a big puncher but didn't have much of a chin

    Typing from the phone always ****s everything up.

    @George Crowcroft i will check the Villasana vs Esparragoza fight when i have the time but next are two ten rounders that i have watched several times and i still havent decided if they should crack the list ( not top 100 but somewhere in the top 350).

    Hardly unknown, but I don't think Kudryashov gets the love he deserves. The Russian Hammer is the epitome of a chinny gunslinger, and is virtually the modern day Bob Satterfield.

    Something similar can be said of Leon Spinks, very entertaining style who's fights with Ali and embarrassing losses over shadow.

    Merqui Sosa is a must-see fighter.

    Charles Manyuchi is the modern drunken master.

    Any of the cruisers really. That division is the most entertaining in the sport. Idk how the WBSS managed to mess up getting that across.
