View Full Version : Most Skillful Fight?
BigStereotype 08-09-2010, 06:49 PM What fight would you say had the highest level of skill-level between the two participants? Marquez-Casamayor and Marquez-Barrera are my two favorite chess-match style fights, wondering what you guys had to say about it. The Casamayor-Marquez fight in particular was awe-inspiring the way the two of them used every trick in the book to pry open the other's defense. Good thing my man came out on top.

Can't argue with those picks.....Leonard - Benitez is the first that came to mind for me.

Megamasterking 08-10-2010, 01:25 AM I would say Ali vs Frazier 1 because they had opposing skills and technics: one held his gloves high, the other down. Ali wanted to fight from a distance "is that the correct way to say that in English?" Frazier wanted a closer fight, etc... i could go on...
So you get to see a lot in that great fight !

MeccaOfBoxing 08-10-2010, 07:10 PM Barney Ross vs Jimmy Mclarnin deserves a mention.
Eric Holder 08-10-2010, 07:19 PM Ezzard Charles vs Jersey Joe Walcott
both of them were so technical
BigStereotype 08-10-2010, 08:17 PM Thanks guys! I love these chessmatch style fights, I'll be watching the **** out of them. But I watched Corrales-Castillo and that was a killer inside fight.
