It's holiday season and we all know what that means :hey So gimme some of your favourite fights so I can watch on youtube :yep I'm already watching the Hearns, Hagler, Leonard and Duran fights (already watched them but it's nice to watch them again!), Marquez-Vazquez trilogy, Gatti-Ward trilogy... There's so many to choose from. So what are your all time favourite fights?
Here's a sleeper you may not have seen: Israel Vasquez v Jhonny Gonzalez (epic stuff) Maybe you have seen it though - its quite modern.
Dunno if you'll find it on youtube but try and find a fight between Bruce Curry and Monroe Brooks from the 70s. Brooks was NOT a former opponent of Hagler (thanks to GazOc) and this was on the undercard of one of Hagler's fights. Rumour has it they were best chums (rumoured cousins) and then fell out over a girl. Then came this fight for an NABF title. Helluva war
Bang on! :good That was on the undercard of Barrera v Juarez 2 which was **** compared to their first fight.
Ibeabuchi vs. Tua Chacon vs. Limon IV. Zarate vs. Rodolfo Martinez. Bob Foster vs. Dick Tiger. Fenech vs. Nelson 1. McCallum vs. Toney 1 and 2. Arguello vs. Escalera. Arguello vs. Pryor 1.

Good stuff guys. Keep em coming :yep That Curry-Brooks story sounds very interesting... Will look into it with the other mentioned :good
Aye, I went off the rails there.... considering Monroe Brooks was a light welter/welterweight. Jeez atsch
They was roommates. Curry shared a room/flat with him when he moved from Texas to California. Curry is brothers with Don Curry also. Alexis Arguello vs Aaron Pryor I Bobby Chacon vs Rafeal Limon IV My two favrouites.
