    Great fights that no one remembers

    There have been loads off fights through the history off boxing that have been great but are never talked about or almost completely forgotten. What great fights have you seen that are never talked about at all?
    I will start with one i saw yesterday Renaldo Snipes vs Trevor Berbick it was a 10 round heavyweight fight back in 1982 and it was a war both men landing bombs it is one off the best heavyweight fights i have seen, it was a bit like Ibeabuchi vs Tua but with more action.

      There are way too many to list.

      Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Richie Kates/Marvin Johnson 1 & 2/Yanqui Diaz 2 (even though it was FOTY, it doesn't get talked about much)
      John LoCicero vs Caveman Lee
      Bruce Curry vs Monroe Brooks/Wilfred Benitez 1 & 2
      Jorge Arce vs Michael Carbajal
      Micky Ward vs Reggie Green
      Antwun Echols vs Charles Brewer
      Michael Gomez vs Alex Arthur
      Charles Williams vs Merqui Sosa 1
      Kelvin Seabrooks vs Orlando Canizales 1/Theirry Jacob
      Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor
      Frank Fletcher vs Clint Jackson
      Erik Morales vs Daniel Zaragoza
      Daniel Zaragoza vs Paul Banke 1 & 2
      Frank Liles vs Tim Littles 2
      Richard Hall vs Julian Letterlough
      Mike McCallum vs Milton McCrory/Jeff Harding
      Simon Brown vs Tyrone Trice 1/Vincent Pettway/Maurice Blocker
      Mark Breland vs Aaron Davis
      Terry Norris vs Troy Waters
      Luis Collazo vs Jose Antonio Rivera

      etc. etc.

      Some of the older FOTYs don't get too much mentioning either like Basilio vs Saxton 2, Basilio-DeMarco 1 & 2, Chuvalo-Patterson etc.

          The battle of the Z boys (Carlos Zarate 45(44)-0 vs Alfonso Zamora 29(29)-0) seems to have been fairly forgotten considering the magnitude of the fight at the time, it was just an unbelievable event and by no means did it disappoint in and outside of the ring.

            yeah but minor fights or fights were the fighters dont have much following can be forgotten quickly, the Snipes Berbick fight is one for instance it was one of the best heavyweight fights from the 80's but no one remembers it because it was not a title fight and both fighters had little following.

              Michael Moorer-Bert Cooper. No way this fight won't exceed anyones expectations.
