What is an awesome light heavyweight fight? In terms of skillset of boxers and most importantly TWO-WAY action - I'm not looking for a whitewash shutout type fight.

View Full Version : Best Light Heavyweight Fight? UglyPug 10-18-2011, 07:42 AM What is an awesome light heavyweight fight? In terms of skillset of boxers and most importantly TWO-WAY action - I'm not looking for a whitewash shutout type fight. Sugarj 10-18-2011, 07:47 AM Jones vs Tarver 1 was a good fight on near equal grounds. I scored it for Jones, but he was clearly not what he was before the heavyweight move. Good fight though! If you don't mind black and White, try Moore vs Durelle 1. Possibly the best light heavyweight fight in history. Great skills and heart in your mouth action!

UglyPug 10-18-2011, 08:10 AM Harold Johnson - Archie Moore 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7qFsEmK1gE couldn't find the full fight but i found the highlights where mongoose does his thing. NOTE the jab-overhand straight/hook-hybrid combo at 0:55. . . Lol he threw it so hard he lost his balance. .

Harold Johnson was actually winning that fight and starting to tee off on him until Archie landed that stunning shot that hurt him. Great comeback by the great Archie Moore but Johnson was real unlucky in that one. Great fight the 5th one. Most of their 5 fight series were close fights the epitome of two real ATG's bringing the absolute best out of each other. UglyPug 10-18-2011, 08:48 AM They both did their thing.

Most of their 5 fight series were close fights the epitome of two real ATG's bringing the absolute best out of each other. why do you think so many fights and ATG fighters in the past exchanged punches more? did they really have that much better chins, punch resistance and stamina? or are fighters just more cautionary today or what? Pastrano 10-18-2011, 10:06 AM Moore-Johnson 5 was certainly one of em. Also Eddie Mustafa Muhammad vs Michael Spinks, John Conteh vs Jorge Ahumada and Eddie Mustafa vs Marvin Johnson. Also Michael Spinks vs Dwight M Qawi was great. There, I gave u my top 5 actually!:banana: SCtrojansbaby 10-18-2011, 11:33 AM GREAT fight that most people haven't seen <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oh5Dzqh6u8I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> NChristo 10-18-2011, 12:06 PM Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Marvin Johnson I and II Michael Spinks vs Yaqui Lopez, Spinks' best fight imo Bob Foster vs Chris Finnegan Archie Moore - Durelle I Harding-Andries trilogy All great fights, can't pick my favourite.

I'll take MSM-Johnson II FTW. McGoorty 10-19-2011, 03:01 AM What is an awesome light heavyweight fight?

McGoorty 10-19-2011, 03:27 AM Harold Johnson - Archie Moore 5 I'm still waiting for your Harold thread Dan ????? TBear 10-19-2011, 03:31 AM Matthew Saad Muhammad fights are almost always sure bets. Marvin Johnson too. Moore-Durrelle I is an all time favorite. Foster-Finnegan too. IronDanHamza 10-19-2011, 09:43 AM I'm still waiting for your Harold thread Dan ????? :lol1: Which one was that again? Memory playing up as usual :lol1: New England 10-19-2011, 10:28 AM matthew saad muhammad is perhaps my favorite LHW in terms of action his style was something you'd draw up if you wanted to produce brutal and physical fights. big strong physical guy with athletic quality. serious puncher. great pace. take your pick, most of the fights in his prime are great viewing marvin johnson and yaqui lopez are starters. joseph5620 10-19-2011, 01:38 PM matthew saad muhammad is perhaps my favorite LHW in terms of action his style was something you'd draw up if you wanted to produce brutal and physical fights. big strong physical guy with athletic quality. serious puncher. great pace. take your pick, most of the fights in his prime are great viewing marvin johnson and yaqui lopez are starters.

For a Saad fight, I'd even call it boring. Saad-Conteh I was also a gr8 fight.:boxing: Obama 10-19-2011, 10:37 PM Jose Torres vs Eddie Cotton, Cotton should have won.

He's the GOAT in two-way action fights. mkennedy25 10-20-2011, 10:12 AM How about Sugar Ray Robinson vs Joey Maxim at Yankee stadium as a decent light heavyweight scrap |
