    Really? A little surprising. Their fights are in the underrated category.

    So do you think Patterson really knocked Quarry down in round 7, or do you think it was a slip?

    Ingo vs Patterson III. Straight up war! A fitting end to a great trilogy.

    Patterson was more impressive to me as a former champion!

    I love the story behind it. The ferocity shown in the ring.

    As a boxing spectacle it's one sided, but as a narrative it's a beautiful climax.

    Jack Bodell v Billy Walker. Honestly. Have a look at it. No technical masterclass but a fabulously entertaining seesaw tear up from the first bell.

    I'll check it out. Bodell was always pretty reliable when it comes to a good fight.

    It's a tough pick, but I'd probably have to make a list to cover the depth and breadth of all the great 60s fights.
