    IMO Giardello vs Tiger III and IV definitly belong in the top ten, especially 4.

    Some goodens.

    The Joey Archer-Emile Griffith fights probably belong here. Perhaps the first Benvenuti-Griffith fight too.

    You can Hagler-Mugabi to that list to Hagler took some bombs from "The Beast" but it was a thing of beauty the way he took Mugabi apart.

    Robinson/Basilio II is a very, very highly skilled fight I think. Not just the slugfest it's made out to be.
