    I was looking for the competitive, close types but most of them have been mentioned I think.

    how about Moore Johnson V? does the full fight exist? looks great from the HL's

    Charles - Johnson

    Charles Louis

    Kalambay McCallum 2

    Watson Eubank 2

    Calzaghe Kessler maybe? good fight anyway

    Pep vs. Saddler III
    Carlos Ortiz vs. Joe Brown (watch how Ortiz only uses his left in this fight)
    Hearns vs. Benitez (i like this fight, they both stayed disciplined throughout)


    so many greatly skilled fights. Seamus shouted out Nelson and Sanchez. That was awesome.

    Louis vs. Conn. Louis of course had textbook power, fluidity, balance and precision. Conn was a pure technician.

    Louis vs. Walcott. Walcott was smooth like silk.

    Louis vs. Schmeling. Schmeling had a high boxing IQ.

    Robinson vs. Lamotta. Lamotta is often portrayed as a brawler but the way he used his left hand was highly educated.

    Benitez vs. Hearns. This showed how good a boxer Hearns could be.

    Leonard vs. Duran.

    Pep vs. Saddler

    Tunney vs. Dempsey.

    Yes, indeedy. Recently started a thread on her interview with Tyra Banks in the Lounge, so it felt fitting to show my support to her cause.
