Have you seen Casamayor-Marquez? That's a really good quality fight. I always watch it when I want to see solid technique. Really underrated fight, IMO.
heres why i odnt like the fights Foreman vs Lyle - The fihgters display no skills for the first few rounds and just stand and move their hands. Eventually theres afew KDs which is pretty exciting then Foreman comes bac and stops him. Juts not my sorta thing i like great technicians and bouts with excitement and drama but more thoughtful and patient Ike vs Tua - Just 2 big guys standing moving their hands. Ike shows some skills but not enough and Tua hardly does anything skillful except afew combos. No drama in this fight at all. Why i like Gatti - I can relate to him. A fighting guy with a ton of heart but honest and shows who he is. Lots of drama in his fights. Showed he was skillful and he tried to use his skills but got drawn in and showed a weakness/vulnerability. see above Foreman vs Ali is very boring IMO. A huge win though. I think Ali later in his career became quite broing with his holding tactics but it was clever so i appreciated it. Fights i like Basilio vs SRR/ Saxton 2/ Demarco 2 Hagler vs Heanrs Chacon vs Limon 4/ Boza 2 Arguello vs Escalara 1 and 2/ Pryor 1/ Mancini/ Boza Gatti vs Ward 3 Leonard vs Hearns 2 Johnson vs Pastrano Napoles vs Muniz/ Lewis 1/ Griffith Monzon vs Griffith 2/ Napoles Ross vs McLarnin Any Willie Pep stuff Ali vs Frazier 1 and 3/ Liston 1 and 2 plus loads more
Lewis/Tua is a fight I quite enjoyed but I'm sure I'm in the minority. Middleweight/SMW James Toney is a pleasure to watch no matter how one sided.
Morales vs Pac 1, great fight between 2 of my all-time favourites, the 12th round finished Morales as an elite fighter in my view. The guy could have been even greater if he had stuck to his underappreciated boxing skills more in his career.
I am. I love MAB as well in fact Morales vs Barrera is the best fight i have ever seen (forgot to include it in the list)
Yes,true but if he didn't get bored of boxing after 2 rounds or so and get dragged into a fight he wouldn't be Erik Morales:yep
He boxes very well against Barrera and actually tries to box Barrera as Barrera tries to fight this weekend is going to be th trilogy for me.
