***The Top 50 Wins Of The Decade, 1990-1999***

damn, man. your list is sick. you truly are an expert. thats a sick sick list. wow.

 

I should have included it in the Hon Mentions section I think. I would stop short of entering it in the 50 though. When I first purchased that fight, I knew McCallum won, but that was all. I was hoping he was going to produce a performance to match that of Kalambay in the first fight, and wrest back control between the two. For me, he failed to do so. I suppose that's why I view it a bit negatively, though obviously that isn't very fair, because Kalambay was just a bad match-up for him, and a very very talented and determined opponent.

Any other comments friend?

 

I disagree.

 

Next time I make a list called "The Top 50 Official Draws Which Were Really Wins By My Card", I will make sure I include it. Promise.

 

I'll answer your first point first: Because Carbajal's all-round performance was not great.

And your second point: No. I explained this in the blurb following the body of the list. I personally cannot consider a fight to be a great win, if I don't even think it was in fact a real win. Therefore, it is not possible, it makes no sense at all, for me to include (for example) Trinidad-De La Hoya as a great win, when I strongly believe Oscar won the fight by a clear margin (4 pts), therefore I don't even consider it a win, never mind a great one.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Even if you disagree, I hope I explained myself a little here. :good

 

Yeah, this pretty much sums me up, and sums up the reason for writing this thread. For me sitting watching fights, making notes, comparing performances, and attempting to attach values to wins, etc, are pure pleasure. I love the sport, therefore I love thinking and writing about it. :good

 

I explained my omission of Benn-McClellan on the first page. I think Nigel was absolutely magnificent that night, but I opted not to include it. That was my choice, I stick by it.

Please read the list again - Eubank beating Benn is quite clearly in there.

No, I don't believe Hamed-Johnson belongs here.

 

Read the comments attached to that inclusion:

These three factors each coloured separately, undoubtedly make this a superb win.

And there was a thread on the Classic a while back featuring this win, I commented on it and so did a few other Classic posters:

It is clear that people who have actually seen Sasakul fight, rate him highly.

 

I have it as an honourable mention. After discussing this fight with sweet_scientist, I looked into Arce's career a bit more, watched as much of him as I could. I'm not convinced by him, at all. Thus, it didn't make the cut, despite it being a fantastic achievement by Carbajal. JMO amigo.

 

2nd :good

 

Though if Pea-Oscar had been scored how I thought it should (to Pernell by 1 point), then that would surely rival Pea-JCC, considering the Pea who faced the unbeaten prime Oscar was a clearly declined Pea from the version who boxed the ears off JCC.
