    10 that spring to mind:

    Rose vs Rudkin
    Saldivar vs Winstone (any)
    Laguna vs Ortiz I
    Griffith vs Benvenuti (Probably 1, but all were good)
    Fullmer vs Basilio II (only because 1 was 59)
    Cotton vs Torres
    Frazier vs Quarry I
    Frazier vs Mathis
    Harada vs Jofre (1 for me but either)
    Ortiz vs Elorde (1 but either)

    Jofre-Medel 1 deserves a mention.

    For the 1960's I'd go:

    Eder Jofre vs. Jose Medel I
    Charley Scott vs. Gaspar Ortega
    Joey Giardello vs. Rocky Rivero I
    Carlos Ortiz vs. Paolo Rosi
    Marcel Pigou vs. Eduardo Lausse
    Emile Griffith vs. Jose Stable
    Jose Stable vs. Charley Scott
    Carmen Basilio vs. Gaspar Ortega
    Rocky Rivero vs. Florentino Fernandez I
    Gene Fullmer vs. Florentino Fernandez

    Not one Ring Magazine fight of the year there, and I'd probably add other non-Fight of the Year fights as honourable mentions before Ring's selections, like both Harada-Jofre fights, Saldivar-Winstone II, Charley Scott vs. Ralph Dupas IV.

    Mind you I haven't seen Giardello-Hank or Joe Brown vs. Dave Charnley II to say whether they were any good or not.

    Bump of old thread as it's my area of interest at the moment. Any other great fights not already mentioned?

    The Griffith-Benvanuti trilogy was a favorite of mine...but I wonder, whatever happened to the films of bouts 2 & 3?

    Even though he won it in a landslide Tiger vs Henry Hank is a very very entertaining scrap

    I think Patterson-Chuvalo was another classic fight too.
