    You have to be careful with this guy @One Point Deduction, he could be really rough with the newbies in here

    Outside of ones already mentioned I thoroughly enjoy Holyfield vs Dokes and I generally detest HW boxing. For a recent entry I also thought Usyk vs Joshua was very fun

    Good call on Holyfield vs Dokes. I had totally forgotten about that.

    Marciano Walcott is like watching the neighborhood kneebreaker collect a debt from a particularly ornery geriatric. Not great stuff.

    How are we defining a "great" fight?
    I feel like Louis-Schmeling II has to be on any list due to how much the fight meant at the time, and like Tyson-Douglas has to be on any list due it being the greatest upset in boxing history.

    great first round, and in 6th looked like ingo was really starting to wear Floyd down with the jab the momentum was going the Swede’s way when he walked into a big right hand. Would of liked the ref to let it continue looked like Ingo just beat the count to me. But good fight. Top 10 iffy

    I love the first round, but rounds 2 through 5 are in fact quite slow. And that's most of the fight right there.

    Patterson-Johansonn 3 sucks I don't care what anyone says. Literally every other Patterson fights are more entertaining.. (Quarry, Chuvalo, Ali 2nd, etc)
