Fights you must watch

Thanks for these, I haven't seen any of them except clips of Foreman-Lyle, shameful I know, added to the list Nice one man I hear what you're saying about Fury-Klitschko, it's not everyone's cup of tea! I put Inoue-Donaire on the list anyhoo Interesting that you'd choose GGG-Canelo II over the first, yeah I think I'd agree, it's like they just picked up where they left off, hit the ground running, and Canelo was less cautious, made for a more entertaining fight I liked both Canelo GGG fights but 1st fight was at best a draw and 2nd fight was closer where a Canelo win, draw, and even GGG win could be had...that's the sign of a good fight! Of course this is all my opinion

Thanks, have added Sanchez-Gomez, and Sanchez-Lopez II :) Non **** kisses, thank you green k sent !

Nice list, but no Salvador Sanchez? You are less than 40. A boxing fanatic. Add Sanchez vs Gomez Sanchez vs Danny lil red Lopez x 2 Sanchez vs Gomez. Shachez vs fast car bad Mexican roads Thanks, have added Sanchez-Gomez, and Sanchez-Lopez II :)

What are some fights that any self-respecting boxing fan must have watched? Obviously there are thousands probably, but let's say the top 10 or 20 memorable fights Rumble in the Jungle would be number one for me ('rope a dope') a few others: Duran v Leonard II ('no mas') Tyson v Holyfield II (the ear incident) Gatti v Ward I (that 9th round) A lot of times I see these kind of lists, they kind of miss the point, including fights like Mayweather v Pacquiao which imo is not a must-see fight, yes it was a momentous occasion but what did we learn, what did we see.. not a lot. ** OK so here's the list of fights that people have mentioned in this thread Jeffries-Johnson (1910) Louis-Schmeling II (1938) Robinson-Fullmer II (1957) Clay-Liston (1964) Ali-Foreman (1974) Duran-Leonard II (1980) Leonard-Hearns I (1981) Arguello-Pryor I (1982) Hagler-Hearns (1985) Duran-Barkley (1989) Chavez-Taylor (1990) Morrison-Hipp (1992) Benn-McClellan (1995) Tyson-Holyfield II (1997) Barrera-Morales I (2000) Mayweather-Corrales (2001) Gatti-Ward I (2002) Jirov-Toney (2003) Marquez-Austin (2003) V. Klitschko-Sanders (2004) Castillo-Corrales I (2005) Marquez-Vasquez III (2008) Maidana-Ortiz (2009) Pacquiao v Marquez IV (2012) Inoue v Donaire (2019) Nice list, but no Salvador Sanchez? You are less than 40. A boxing fanatic. Add Sanchez vs Gomez Sanchez vs Danny lil red Lopez x 2 Sanchez vs Gomez. Shachez vs fast car bad Mexican roads

Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez Carlos Zarate vs. Alfonso Zamora George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle Bobby Chacon vs. Cornelius Boza Edwards II Thanks for these, I haven't seen any of them except clips of Foreman-Lyle, shameful I know, added to the list Pac JMM IV was short but you could argue it was a better match. AJ Klit was similar in the back and forth at the highest level Fury and Klit definitely not GGG and Canelo 2 could be considered Nice one man I hear what you're saying about Fury-Klitschko, it's not everyone's cup of tea!

well, i already mentioned Marquez-Pacquiao IV apart from that, GGG-Canelo I, or maybe the second fight, I fluctuate on which fight was better UK-wise, Froch-Groves II was a massive occasion I'd put Fury-Klitschko up there too, maybe AJ-Klitschko aswell I dunno, the lighter weights, they're not so enthralling, they need to be something extra-special, like the Vasquez-Marquez series as someone else pointed out, nothing against Inoue per se, as I said it was a good fight, definitely worth watching, just not something that jumps out as a must-see fight for me personally Pac JMM IV was short but you could argue it was a better match. AJ Klit was similar in the back and forth at the highest level Fury and Klit definitely not GGG and Canelo 2 could be considered

Alexis Arguerro vs Aaron Pryor I

Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez Carlos Zarate vs. Alfonso Zamora George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle Bobby Chacon vs. Cornelius Boza Edwards II

Name a better fight in 2010s. Go. well, i already mentioned Marquez-Pacquiao IV apart from that, GGG-Canelo I, or maybe the second fight, I fluctuate on which fight was better UK-wise, Froch-Groves II was a massive occasion I'd put Fury-Klitschko up there too, maybe AJ-Klitschko aswell I dunno, the lighter weights, they're not so enthralling, they need to be something extra-special, like the Vasquez-Marquez series as someone else pointed out, nothing against Inoue per se, as I said it was a good fight, definitely worth watching, just not something that jumps out as a must-see fight for me personally

It was good, yeah, i'm not sure it's a must-see sort of fight, but definitely worth a watch! I remember thinking donaire was ready for retirement Name a better fight in 2010s. Go.

Morales Pacquiao 1 Marquez Vasquez 3 Marquez Austin Floyd Corrales - Floyd’s finest performance. Masterful display. Maidana Ortiz Chavez Taylor

Benn vs mclellan. Terrible aftermath but the brutality of the fight shouldn't be forgotten.

Do you mean the official Ring FOTY or your own consideration for each year Because yeah, I agree the official FOTYs, you can miss some of those and still be considered a good fan of boxing imo I'm looking through the list now, I mean how many of us have seen 2006's FOTY: Somsak Sithchatchawal TKO 10 Mahyar Monshipour I bet the number is quite low! I was gonna go with the fights I considered FOTY. I'm with you though. Some of The Rings FOTY I can do without.

Morrison vs. Hipp Jirov vs. Toney V. Klitschko vs. Sanders come to mind fun fights

Inoue Donaire was the best fight in the 2010s. Seriously It was good, yeah, i'm not sure it's a must-see sort of fight, but definitely worth a watch! I remember thinking donaire was ready for retirement

I'm gonna say Hagler-Hearns is a must-see fight Also, Duran-Barkley (but that's one of my personal faves so I'm biased) Ortiz-Maidana is one that's stuck with me too for some reason Arguello-Pryor

I was gonna look back at the last ten or so years and watch what I considered to be FOTY for each year.

Thanks for these, yeah there are too many really! I haven't watched Clay-Liston in aaages, need to watch that again soon Fullmer, he had what looks like the worst jab ever, I saw it described as someone opening a door, but I love his shoulder-dip thing he did to get inside Yeah so many... The opening the door comparison is hilarious.😂 I only put that one in there because Robinson throws what has been acclaimed as “the perfect punch”. Ray was past his best by that point as well.

For in ring action: Gatti-Ward 1 Corrales-Castillo 1 Barrera-Morales 1 For historical significance: Johnson-Jeffries Clay-Liston Louis-Schmelling 2 For elite level action or pure excellence: Pacquiao-Marquez series Leonard-Hearns 1 Robinson-Fullmer 2 There are honestly too many tbh.
