I remember this. Think it was on Friday Night Fights. What a ****ing war. You rarely see fights that packed with action at that weight. Was like lightweight action.
Good call with Basilio/Demarco II. That's always been under-rated. The first was a barn-burner as well.
Basilio is one of my fav fighters ever,never in a bad fight. I also love his fights with SRR,Fullmer,Saxton,Gavilan and the first Demarco fight that you mentioned.
The first Benn-Eubank fight was at 160 i have it at around number six or seven. And i havent seen the second Eubank-Watson fight.
Excellent stuff Bladerunner, very very solid lists. Great so see Chacon getting his props and I really like the high ranking of Winky Vs Vargas. I would however have to have Saad Vs Lopez II at number 1 in LHW, and I'm not sure I'd find space for DLH Vs Mosley I at WW. p.s how deep is the JFW division!!!!
Thx mate. Saad-Lopez II is great i wouldnt have any problem with someone having it at number one.and DLH-Mosley is a personal favorite of mine :yep. Agree about the JFW division,it has some of the best fights ever i had to left out some other great fights that happened there like The Zaragoza-Banke rematch,Larios-Vazquez II,the other two fights of the Izzy-Rafa trilogy etc.
