Some great shouts in an excellent thread Watson-Eubank, Watson genuinely hated Eubank, a lot of beef & a tragic outcome Tyson-Holyfield. They were 1st scheduled to fight after the Douglas fight then again just before Tyson was indicted for ****. They knew each other from a young age & were complete opposites in terms of character & composure. Their 2 fights are part of boxings history & not its proudest chapter. Floyd-Pac. The rivalry which characterises all that is wrong in boxing currently. The 2 finest unwilling to fight each other & instead earn huge paychecks fighting cherry-picked mismatched opponents at catchweights for bull**** titles(mostly)
Marquez/Pacquiao is one of my faves cos of the back and forth and the very fine lines that there battles were drawn on. For me, particularly the second fight was a fantastic battle of drama, high technical skill and fantastic determination. Arum/King was/is an excellent rivalry that helped bring about some of the best cards ever seen. *******s vs *****s - I'm kinda just trying to say something that hasn't been said and as much as I hate these guys arguments; their rivalry endures and is completely relentless Unfortunately there maybe no decent conclusion to that debate.
Ali - Frazier. Who saw that documentary and heard Frazier's voicemail? Stanley Ketchel - Billy Pepke Rocky Graziano -Tony Zale. And a fourth. Henry Cooper - Joe Bugner, Harry Gibbs, Harry Mullan and everyone else who thought Bugner won.
:yep My name's Smokin' Joe Frazier Sharp as a Razor Float like a butterfly Sting like a bee I'm the man who did the job Just look and see Call me, bye bye Or something like that anyway.
