Just wondering what some of your opinions are of the past few years...

A few that never get talked about but I thought were great and entertaining fights were:

1. Oscar De La Hoya vs. Fernando Vargas
2. O'Neil Bell vs Jean Marc Mormeck
3. Sam Peter vs. James Toney 2
4. David Haye vs. Enzo Maccarinelli

etc.

Any others?

Haye knocking out Macca wasn't an entertaining fight for me. The only entertainment I got from that fight was during the build up when Haye was taking the piss out Frank Warren.

Good shout; that fight is just brutal. IMO it is the best all British fight of this century.

For those of you that haven't seen it, here it is...

I"ll look for it on youtube!

Have you seen the Robert Quiroga-Kid Akeem Afinwoshe fight? Thats another one of my favorites, but is little known outside olf hardcore fans. Tragic ending.

Toney/Peter 1 was better than Toney/Peter 2, a more one-sided fight.

Briggs/Adamek I & II were both very good fights. Blood & guts type ****. Rarely see it mentioned round these parts.Minto/Maddalone I was one of the more entertaining "tough-man" type of fights I can think of. No skill present whatsoever, but a slugfest through and through.
