    Hmm... tough one but here goes

    1 - Vargas vs Quartey - vargas boxed brilliantly this fight, boxed AROUND ikes jab sometimes, sometimes went through it, would land one twos in the center of the ring or fight in close on the ropes. truly awsome battle between two awsome fighters. Plus i like ike.

    2 - Vargas vs Tito -
    3 - Vargas vs Hoya rounds 1-5 lol... love it up until the 10th round lol.

    4 - Ward vs Gatti
    5 - Mayorga vs Forrest 2

    Chacon-Limon IV - More than a fight; it was a celebration of the human spirit. It was THAT good.

    Sanchez-Gomez - Brutal artistry.

    Saad-Muhammad-Lopez II - Savage back and forth action; vintage Saad.

    Morales-Barrera I - Same as above.........well, except no Saad was involved.

    Sanchez-Nelson - My favorite fighter's swan song.

    You are quite strict on this limit of 5.
    Trilogies and two match sets can, in the opinion of some, be viewed as one extended fight between two boxers, interrupted by a few months/years.
    Your admonishment of those with this opinion is almost Nazi-esque.
    Where were you between 1939-1945 BTW?

    in all honesty the fight ive probably seen the most is like... vargas vs chop chop in the amatures, or vs diaz in the amatures, and bojado vs some black guy, and cotto vs bazan. I used to fall asleep to a boxing video at night and those were the beginning fights on it.... lol... so probably seen them like 100 times, compared to the 40 or so times of vargas vs ike, tito, hoya

    The point is to tap into ESB's members to construct a list of fights they consider to be unmissable. 5 allows posters to address their favourite fighters, different types of fights, all time and onbscure with allowing their lists to become soft.

    I am all for a top 8 - or 6 - and of course, people can post their top 213. But the more fights the softer the lists will tend to get. I stipulated in the title that I was after top 5's. I don't think it's unreasonable.

    Well, those people are very stupid.

    I fail to see the connection.

    Yet to be born.
