    Gazelle, to this day, I am stunned Layne got up from that right hand. Not to mention actually winning.

    Nick, you beat me to it. I was about to mention Morrison v Williams. Good fight.

    Lyle v Shavers is a absolute grit of war between two punching monsters with hearts of a lion, it is unfortunate that it wasn't preserved well and it seems there isn't any better quality version then this one.

    My my, who made that? Okay back to the topic, here are some underrated fights:

    Bob Satterfield vs Elkins Brothers
    David Izon vs Lou Savarese/Michael Grant/Darrol Wilson
    Andrew Golota vs Orlin Norris
    Tyrell Biggs vs Jeff Sims
    Tim Witherspoon vs Frank Bruno
    Joe Frazier vs Manuel Ramos
    Ron Lyle vs Jerry Quarry
    Ken Norton vs Jose Luis Garcia (Extremely Underrated)
    Trevor Berbick vs Greg Page

    That was a great fight. It also seemed winnable for Briggs, and like he lost by repeatedly allowing himself to be hit in the face.

    He lost because he has awful stamina, not helped by being an asthmatic. He went all out to finish Wilson in the early rounds, tired himself out and had nothing left by the 3rd round.

    Wilson is also a bit underrated and Briggs underestimated him, Wilson has been involved in some terrific wars vs Courage Tshabalala, David Izon, so hes not the pushover that Briggs thought he would be.

    Round 1 was awesome, I must say. Absolute mayhem.
