Boxing Monthly this week had writer Steve Farhood present his favourite unification fights of the last 25 years. I know what you're thinking... surely Frank Bruno vs. Floyd "Jumbo" Cummings headed the list? But not so. Here's the full countdown:


Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Meldrick Taylor

Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns

Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield I & II

Felix Trinidad vs. Oscar De La Hoya/Fernando Vargas/Bernard Hopkins

Michael Carbajal vs. Chiquita Gonzalez

Kostya Tszyu vs. Zab Judah

Johnny Tapia vs. Danny Romero

Michael Spinks vs. Dwight Qawi

Erik Morales vs. Marco Antonio Barrera I

Oscar De La Hoya vs. Fernando Vargas



The Next 12: Holyfield vs. Moorer, Tyson vs. Tucker, Holyfield vs. DeLeon, Freitas vs. Joel Casamayor, Wright vs. Moseley, Hill vs. Maske, Eubank vs. Benn II (JuyJuy's pick), Curry vs. McCrory, Hamed vs. Johnson, Chavez vs. Ramirez, Michalczewski vs. Hill, Mayorga vs. Forrest

I don't see how anyone could see Lewis vs Holyfield 1 as a favourite unification fight, the shoddy decision just left a bitter taste in the mouth that basically ruined a good performance from Lennox Lewis.

That's Low!

The Cooler needs to cool down, cool! :cool:My bad... :-)

But still it was not posted by "Originally Posted by Steve Farhood"
It was posted by Anorak :)

Anyway,

You know I don't mean to jump on you it's just that your obsession with Eubank / Nigel Benn is driving everyone nuts

Why don't you post in the "Boxing History (http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=5)" forum?
To my knowledge, people here want to talk about current fighters and upcoming fights... and not 3000 posts about Eubank.
