    It´s just like with eras, you´ve got to rank them where they fought in. But yeah, of course mw had more quality.

    McCallum was the suprior fighter. If he was the better one. I don´t know.

    Can we just leave the Baer nonsense and get back to topic.

    Don't think anyone has mentioned Montreal. That was a great exhibition of both skill and guts.

    How is it the lower weight classes? Must be some there.

    As for HW, I can't hardly think of any that belongs in the company we speak of here. Johnson-Charles comes close, but just falls little short imo. I love Holyfield-Bowe I as a technical blood battle, but it lacks somewhat in ring generalship.

    Bang on.


    Barney Ross vs Billy Petrolle II is the best we have ever seen Ross on film IMO, just shows everything.

    I also think Giardello looks the best on film against Ray Robinson.

    Bernard Hopkins vs Felix Trinidad is also a favourite of mine.

    Tyrone Crawley-Robin Blake. The Butterfly stands flatfooted in mid ring with a much taller and more powerful hometown hero, and boxes his ears off decisively.

    Orlin Norris-Greg Page. Off of this performance, I thought Orlin might give Tyson some major headaches if they ever squared off.

    Griffith-Archer II. As Joey's jabs streamed out to repeatedly connect on a continually moving target, the rising crescendo from the knowledgeable MSG audience reached a fever pitch. But at a crucial later moment, Griff drops his left from an upright position and begins shooting from the hip, giving Archer instant trouble.

    Louis-Farr. Both hurt their right hands early, turning this into a fencing contest over the championship distance.

    Duran-Leonard I - Both were fantastic and the fight was very close. One of the great exhibitions of filmed boxing.

    Calzaghe-Lacy- One sided exhibition of spacing, timing and speed over what was rightly considered a very dangerous opponent. Said opponent's career was unfortunately ruined in the affair.
