roberto duran vs davey moore, that was a fight, duran showed why he was in my mind the best fighter who ever lived
Duran vs. Barkley was better. How old was he 37? Took a hell of a beating in that fight too but Duran just kept on coming. Also the combo Barkley took from Duran before he tumbled, in the 11th, was stunning. I don't claim to be a boxing expert, but that **** was 'excellently executed'
I just got my hands on a sweet DVD selection of every Ring Magazine Fight of the Year for the 80's. Some truly great stuff in there that helped to re-shape my 'Favorite Match" list. Anywho:
MAB vs. Morales 1
Duran vs. Barkley
Gatti vs. Ward 1
Ali vs. Frazier 1
Duran vs. Leonard 1
Bobby Chacon's two F'sOTY in '82 and '83 were pretty crazy as well. Anyone who likes scrappy mexicans beating the **** out of each other should check em out. Oh and one big black fella.
Thrilla In Minilla without a doubt. Ali and Frazier took one hell of a beating that night, especially Frazier. Those last 2 rounds sum up the heart and toughness of Smokin' Joe Frazier. Thank god they called the match then, because I don't think we would be seeing Joe Frazier if it went on.
