    To your fellow classic posters. :good Share your accumulated boxing knowledge and all that fun ****.

    I'll begin.

    Aaron David vs Jorge Luis Maysonet.

    Back and forth slugfest with both fighters hitting the deck. Maysonet shows his 100% KO rate isn't a fluke, dropping the iron chinned Davis when the likes of Breland couldn't do the same. Very good fight that I'm sure most here haven't seen.

    What've you got?

    Ah, another that comes to mind.

    Up and coming "Dangerous" Don Lee vs Tony Sibson.

    If I'm remembering correctly there was almost a half foot difference between the two. None the less, great seesaw slugfest between two fighters with huge power.

    I like Harry Arroyo vs Terrence Alli. It kind of reminds me of a poor man's Monzon vs Valdez.

    Jamie Moore v Matthew Macklin

    Brutal war from 2007 that very nearly ended in tragedy . Not the two best boxers ever but they were both immense that night.

    Another one that is so good it deserves its own post:

    Maurice Hope vs Carlos Herrera- a 'little-seen' world title tilt gem.

    Yeah, I watched that in a bar in Corfu I recall. Gent looked like a 64 year old non-league football manager.

    Great, great contest. Horrific punishment dished out (and taken).

    Yeah, true. But the fight reminded me of George Kennedy beating up Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke.

    Benn Logan was ****ing unreal. still watch that from time to time if i'm feeling aggressive.Bizarre and brutal knockout too.
    Benn Watson is more of the same but slightly slower and more prolongued. It seemed at times Benn was allowing Watson to beat the **** out of him, let him think it was over then BANG !!, come back with a couple of bombs.
    That was until watson knocked him out with a jab. Great great fight
