[Liaison]

As you’re clearly a fan of Eubank,

Eubank/Benn I
Eubank/Stretch
Euabnk/Collins I (atmosphere is incredible)
Eubank/Watson I & II
Eubank/Thompson I & II
Eubank/Dos Santos
Euabank/Rocchigiani

Then the obvious one

Hagler/Hearns
Morrales/Barrera
Hamed/Kelley
Ali/Frazier III
Foreman/Lyle
Corrales/Castillo
Holmes/Norton
Bowe/Holyfield
Leonard/Benitez
Arce/ Centeno

And so on….

marciano/moore isnt that good, durelle/moore is better. here are sum of my favs.

ali/frazier 1
joe louis/billy conn 1
willie pep/sandy sandler (any of the fights really)
hearns/hagler

but its really up to you what fights u like, if u like fights that end in kos spectacularly, or just good boxing matches where both are tested, i personally like to see sumone get ktfo

Hagler/Hearns

after you watched boxing for a bit, and if you like skills, watch Toney-McCallum I.
Not a drama, but one of the most incredible technical matchups ever, with a LOT of punching, too.

Watch all of Ray Closes fights. Guys amazing!

Matt seek out Mexican fighters of the seventies from a thread I made. Bobby Chacon, Danny Lopez, Ruben Olivares are my favorites. Chacon-Lopez, Chacon-Edwards, Chacon-Limon, Lopez-Ayala, Lopez-Sanchez, Castillo-Olivares, Olivares-Rose, Lupe Pintor has good fights as well. Zarate-Zamora, Olivares-Arguello, Meza-Garza. If you only watch Mexicans exclusively from this time you can't miss. If you can find Mando Ramos you won't be disappointed either. Also Latin Legends is a great DVD to have with Ortiz, Chavez, Arguello, Duran, Gavilan, Sanchez.

Robinson-LaMotta, Ali-Frazier, Hagler-Hearns, Benn-Eubank I (boxing at its most noble), Benn-McClellan (the best and worst of boxing) are some good starters

Watch Burton vs Ward it's like a Rocky film fight but for real.
