    Tyson-Rudduck I and II both are very disturbing to watch.

    Solid list. I like the inclusion of Quiroga/Akeem. Still, I think Tapia/Romero deserves a spot here.

    I believe its round 8 or 9 thats one of the best rounds ive ever seen. This fight was a shock to the system.

    Why disturbing?

    Envisioning being low blowed by Tyson?
    The quick stoppage in the first fight?
    The brutality (Ruddock's face) the second fight?

    Benn/McClellan is a fantastic #1, IMO. Despite the tragedy surrounding the fight, it is filled with nonstop drama, violence and surrounded by an incredible atmosphere in the London Arena. My only gripe is that I wouldn't put Tyson/Holyfield I that high at #2.

    To me the fight that stands out is the Julio Caesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor unification bout at 140 lbs on March 17 1990. That fight went back and forth, Taylor's hand speed was causing difficulty for Chavez who solely concentrated on Meldrick's torso and head. A great fight !

    Moon's first fight against Konadu is worth the watch.

    It’s a toss up between Benn-McClellan and Toney-McCallum depending what you prefer, 101 or bombast
