    What are the best short fights you've seen? I'm talking fights that lasted no more than six rounds.

    It's interesting because I wouldn't consider either Louis Schmeling 2 or Dempsey-Willard great fights because they were so one-sided. They were unquestionably great performances though.

    But we all enjoy different aspects of a fight.

    I'm not always the biggest fan of them, it really has to be something special. I usually start to switch off watching one sided fights.

    I really wish there was a decent version online of Joe Louis vs John Henry Louis. That looks really destrustive from the versions online.

    Ezzard Charles Vs Lloyd Marshall looks great too, but it's just hard to enjoy potato vision the same.

    Charles-Marshall 2 is an excellent shout. And yeah, really hard to watch it with the footage available, but it's still better than the only known footage of another classic 6 rounder, Zale-Graziano 2!

    I live for the day they finally locate some surviving footage of that and the first Zale-Graziano fight. But if it turns up looking like the second fight then I'm happy to keep it in my imagination.

    Some great choices here as well as some that I haven't seen. I'm adding these to the list I'm building. Will post it at the end of this thread.

    Some interesting and good choices. Unfortunately for the sake of this thread, Frazier-Quarry 1 can't be included as it went 7 rounds. Still a great fight though!
