    Tszyu-Tackie was a fine performance. Albeit with its limited aggrigate skillset

    I didn't really thinkl it was to impress the fans, i just got the impression he liked fighting.

    Park against Canto is worth a mention here.

    Park is so sharp offensively and picks his spots so well, that Canto literally can't get out of the way of his right hand at all for much of the fight, and though faded Canto was still more or less a great fighter and defensive boxer.

    I'm not saying Morales was devoid of any defensive skill, but fights like McCullough showed me he was not quite on the same level as many of the other best fighters of his era in terms of defence. It can't all be attributed to a desire for a tear-up, because there have been many fighters who loved a war, but still had the ability to avoid the most committed swings of B-level opponents (Toney being the prime example of this). I can't imagine Barrera or Marquez being hit so much by Wayne McC, even if they were in the mood for a ruckus.

    Corrales vs. Castillo.

    He fought Castillo's fight and pulled it out of the fire.

    Foreman-Frazier for me, head and shoulders above anything else I've seen. My jaw was on the floor for a week after that one.

    Jones Jnr-Griffin 2.

    Jones came out all business in this one.He didn't clown,mug or any of that ****,he was angry and set on destruction from the get go for perhaps the only time in his career.

    I wish he had that mindset a bit more often to be honest.

    I've got a few but I've gt to mention Donald Curry's destruction of Milt LcCrory. That long left hook was a thing of beauty. Curry looked almost the perfect fighter at that point in his career.
