Gavilan-Graham 3 - despite all the controversy, the Keed won fair and square IMO.
An up-and-coming Ruben Olivares convincing former Fly champ Salvatore Burruni to turn his back and quit (see below vid). Henry Armstrong handing...
I rate Jaws as better as well, though I think a case could be made that Aliens (the sequel) was better than either one.
Kid Gavilan beating two of the better MWs to never win the title, Rocky Castellani and Eduardo Lausse, just as each was on the cusp of breaking...

Dick Tiger over Nino Benvenuti. An aging Tiger, coming off a devastating loss to Bob Foster and questions as to how much he had left in the tank,...
An old Walcott was still a good enough fighter to beat Charles twice, though. I'm not trying to argue that Walcott was at his best at that time,...
Marciano's 1st round annihilation of Walcott. To me, this should've gone down as a Tyson-Spinks-like defining moment for The Rock, but instead...
I would say he was naturally larger and stronger in the late 40s, when he was weighing, on average, heavier than he was earlier in his career (but...
By the same token, we've seen fighters that were less durable than Johnson last the distance with the likes of Spinks and Foster. Ray Anderson...
Opening 2 minutes of Lady Snowblood: [MEDIA] Is "Sex and Fury" among them? (beware of spoilers if you watch the below vid in its entirety) [MEDIA]
This is why I'd make Qawi the best bet to get a stoppage - not because he was necessarily the biggest puncher, but because he's a dead cert to...
Psycho is just such an incredible and ground-breaking film, it's hard to argue with it as #1. I'd say #2 is a toss-up between Vertigo and The Birds.
I never thought of WW Tito as having the kind of one-punch power of Hearns or Cuevas. To me, his knockouts of elite fighters typically came about...
KB is basically an overlong and hyperactive remake of Snowblood IMO. Not only does it have the same basic premise, but it recycles many of the...
I can't be bothered to read all the back-and-forth in this thread (which seems to be just an extension of a debate that was started in this...
They probably figured Blade Runner has amassed a bigger following since then than has LR.
1. The Deer Hunter 2. Godfather 3. Lady Snowblood 4. Days of Heaven 5. Barry Lyndon Runners up: Papillon, Straw Dogs, Solaris.
I think a potential key difference between Mercer and McCall is that Mercer put a lot of pressure on Tommy even as he was being outboxed, whereas...
WoF's focus on character development and realism (i.e.: conversational dialogue between the drivers, no music during dramatic sequences) creates...

1993 version of Stalingrad. Full movie with English dubbing: [MEDIA]
Seems like they just repurposed the project to be a Blade Runner sequel.
I actually came to this thread just to post this movie. One of my all-time favorites, especially the score.
Gus Lesnevich had developed into a pretty big puncher when he returned from his military service. He scored KOs over Freddie Mills and Billy...
While I know this was meant to be in jest, both these fighters (especially Pastrano) were in a surprising number of exciting fights. Wouldn't...
IMO, it doesn't even work as a B-movie because it's bogged down by its length and pretentiousness. And I thought Lupita's performance as the...
I'd give the edge to Spinks based on his speed and better technical skill on the inside.
I know Benitez looked like a bloated punching bag when he moved up to 160 in '83, but I'm sure if he'd moved up a year earlier it would have made...
Gavilan-Graham III I watched a film version of this fight from a different camera angle than the one on YT, with voice-over narration from NY...
