No, you have to put people on 'ignore' for not having seen those if you want to be like Flea.
Leonard-Benitez could be included if we're talking a high level technical chess match as being a great fight.
What does it say about Spence if he doesn't beat Pac? That's probably the main legacy question. A Pac win simply cements his legacy even further...
122 and 130 if we're just talking about the number of great fights... with the edge to 122.
Fantastic.
Me neither. I was trying to put together the best fights in middleweight history (on film) and I had plenty more welterweight fights than...
A few more to add to George's list: Leonard-Hearns 1 (obvious, but it has to be there) Bratton-Fusari Trinidad-Campas Davis-Breland...
Sugar Ramos v Davey Moore I have put off watching this for years but finally decided to. A great fight from start to finish. Ramos looked bigger...
I watched that for the first time last night, X - I loved it. That's what inspired this thread.
What are your top 10 fights all time for this division?
Watched Ike Quartey v Crisanto Espana - a really high quality fight from start to finish. Quartey took everything Espana dished out (which was a...
No, it's @Ugotabe Kidding.
Lightweight and Welterweight.
Apparently he wants 20 million to step aside. I'm pretty sure that's not the definition of step aside money.
Yeah, he had a stellar amateur - he won a gold medal at the Central American Games in 1974 at bantam. The only obvious black spot on his amateur...
All heavyweights have a natural disadvantage in these kind of greatness debates against modern weight jumpers so I think dominance is important....
Johnson was the top contender in the division for at least a couple of years before he actually picked up a world strap at flyweight so I guess he...
Great matchup that I hadn't really thought of before. I like X's logic. Mosley didn't have problems with fighters who were right there or that...
Was just looking for this thread as I really wanted to get your views on this one @Xplosive. Turns out you were looking for other people's views...
I know Arbachakov had injuries that led to his premature retirement but 95/96 seems like it could have happened. Had it done, we might be looking...
Arbachakov v Johnson - missed opportunity?
If your top 4 aren't in yet, they never will be. No-one can say that 50 years isn't enough thinking time.
Wembley would be the logical choice and yeah, the stadium, even if half full would have a far better atmosphere because guess what, the people...
Same reason everyone was going to South Africa in the 80s.
I've seen the first Marquez fight but not the rematch or the Orozco fight.
Of the traditional 8 weight classes, Flyweight is the one I've spent the least time watching so there's some good recommendations here. Just...
I love Holyfield but it's got to be Leonard for both.
I've seen most of these, I think, but I haven't seen your number 1, so if it's better than Chionoi-Torres 1 and McCauley-Bassa 1, it must be some...
It is spectacular to watch. His chin is one of the shakiest at the top level. He never learnt to just take a knee first and try to steady himself....
Yeah, I actually think Foster is better and greater than Pryor but I was just trying to make a case for Pryor based on X's original post.
Separate names with a comma.
