Super list, take a Captain Cook at Gomez - Pintor too if you get the chance.

 

Yeah, but I also gotta toss in my favs like: "Duran-Moore" and "Duran-Barkley." I was so stoked for Duran in them title bouts / wins.........

I also like "Holmes-Cooney" very much so.... As a teenie bopper in school, that fight of '82 was huge.......... It also delivered too---if you liked Holmes.... I DID!!

MR.BILL:thumbsup

 

it delivered to for cooney in a way he put up a better show than many thought including holmes

 

In many polls the majority of experts were picking Cooney. It's shocking how many favoured him, Joe Public and Eddie Expert combined.

 

1. Arguello vs Pryor 1 (which incidently is my favrouite fight of all time)
2. Chacon vs Boza Edwards 2
3. Chacon vs Limon 4
4. Duran vs Leonard 1
5. Gomez vs Pintor

 

Surprised at how Duran vs Barkley is getting overlooked here. That fight was special on so many different levels.

 

I could not agree more. I think that was the best fight I ever saw.

 

leonard duran ,that was great all the hype and then they fought like hell.duran was still great & leonard showed balls. boza edwards chacon too.duran barkley was another great duran fight but he was`nt the same fighter heavy.

 

Harding-Andries 1 was a top fight between two limited but very tough fighters.

Rosario-Ramirez 2 was one of the very best ever imo.

Hearns-Barkley was a huge upset and classic comeback.

 

Addie, Duran vs Barkley is an amzing fight it would definitly be in my top 10 maybe even top 6 just not in my top 5
