    not on the same level as the other ones but I just watched Brazier - Mayweather and that is definitely good viewing. Brazier is the definition of a cagey veteran

    Sweet Saoul Mamby vs. Esteban DeJesus.

    The skilled 'Sweet Saoul' systematically broke down a still smart, good and dangerous fighter in DeJesus, with a picture-perfect display of pure boxing.

    One of the most under-rated and brilliant performances I ever saw.

    Yeah, that one makes for great viewing. What were your thoughts on it when you watched it?

    Oh you trying to be a smart guy:think.. I believe there is no footage on that fight, but im a fan of both fighters superskillset and i heard it was close with Robinson winning a split decision.

    Just cuz theres no film doesnt mean we shouldnt be able to watch it.

    Any fight of Barney Ross, on film, sans Henry Armstrong. Ross was a text-book boxer.
    A Benny Leonard, without the punching power...

    Hearns-Benitez was a great skill match up. the bomber Hearns missing, then resorting to actually boxing Benitez. winning a close decision.
