    Castillo v Corralles 1- out and out war

    Barrera v Morales 1 - Out and out war

    Michael Gomez v Alex Arthur - not many of you would have seen this one because it was a British Lightweight title fight but it lasted 6 rounds with both fighters going down a couple of times before the favourite being battered and KO'd... great fight to watch

    Nearly all the great fights I've seen have been on youtube, but the best ones I've seen live on TV are:

    Dunne/Cordoba
    Froch/Pascal
    Cotto/Margarito (good fight even though....)
    Rogan/Skelton

    I envy the person who can have a list containing Cotto/Torres, unfortunately that's only a youtube one for me...

    Naz V Kelley.. Was amazing. Knockdowns a knockout. Excitement drama. Not knowing who was gonna win! Was painful at the time, but appreciated after.

    In the early 90's I was living in England and the middleweigts were rocking then and all their fights were free to air, so it would be the Benn - McCellan and the two Benn - Eubanks. Just wars, simple.

    Golota vs Bowe

    Cause i had never heard of golota before it and was shocked bowes performance,it was also great fight

    Benn vs mccellan

    it was a great fight

    Morales vs barrera 1

    great fight the build up was good to and the fight lived up to it,although i do think barrara won it

    Matthew Saad Muhammad/Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. A war a la Gatti/Ward, but with greater skill.

    you're confusing Marvin Johnson with Eddie Mustapha Muhamad,Saad's two fights with Johnson were wars as it was his second fight with Yaqui Lopez.

    #3 Castillo vs Corrales. . . just all around incredible. A true guts and glory fight

    #2 SRL vs Hearns - it was sick watching the role reversal and the outcome of a bad stoppage that will always be imprinted in my head

    #1 And i dont care who laughs. . . Courtney Burton vs Ebo Elder - If you never seen this fight then i almost have to feel sorry for you. 1 has been vs 1 person fighting to come up and the whole entire fight was just straight up sick. This fight to me, defines what it means for 2 fighters to walk into the ring and leave it all on the table. A great mix of skill, all-out slug fest, heart, will, and determination. . . I recorded this fight onto VHS and it is literally the only reason i still own a VCR.

    talking about VCR's I over 100 fights on VHS that i refuse to throw out i would much rather give them to someone if you are in the NYC area and would like to set up a time to pick them up let me know PM me

    P.S. there might be some porn mixed in there too but only about 5-10 percent porn (warning)

    Leonard-Hagler - I was too young to have known **** about boxing but I always watched it anyway & I remember being happy when Leonard won.

    Morales-Pacquiao I - I knew EM was the better fighter but was worried that Pac might be getting him at the right time as he looked a bit sluggish in his previous fight, he produced one last good fight thankfully.

    Corrales-Castillo I - Really good fight & a stunning ending, neither are my favourite fighters but it was still a great fight.
