Top 10 Most Important fights in Boxing History! You decide.

Yeah I suppose that needs to go in. Gatti-Gemache will be bumped to an honorable mention. I also through in Johnson/Jeffries. What one fight best sums up the rivalry of Mexico/Puerto Rico? Perhaps DLH/Trinidad since Golden Boy should be recognized..

I would put it in there.

Johnson - Jeffries was a huge fight historically, I have no problems with it being there. I don't have it on my list, but it's very close.

Yeah I'm gonna do some shuffling and get DLH/Trinidad in there. I have Mancini/Kim too high at the moment as well.

Agree, I think it's definitely top ten though.

What about Patterson vs. Johannson II? First heavyweight to regain the title.

[Ishy Aytan]

What about Ray Leonard vs Tommy Hearns? This fight was historic because of the stature of the two fighters and their dominance at 147 before meeting.

[KittenFlaps]

This would be my list.

1. Muhammad Ali -vs-Joe Frazier
2. Joe Louis -vs- Max Schmeling
3. Tom Molineaux -vs Tom Cribb
4. Jim Corbett -vs- John Sullivan
5. Holmes -vs- Cooney
6. Ray Mancini -vs- Du Ku Kim
7. George Foreman -vs- Michael Moorer
8. Marvin Hagler -vs- Tommy Hearns
9. Mike Tyson -vs- Buster Douglas
10. De La Hoya -vs- Trinidad

perfect imo.

Good one, but I think you may be a bit biased.

I think it was important to lineage at that time and current P4P politics but I don't think it had any major historical signifance. Atleast not as much as the other fights currently listed.

Oh ****

Leonard-Duran - The "No Mas Fight"

That needs to be inserted ASAP.

Leonar-Hearns is important, but Leonard-Duran is the standard from which all quitting is measured by.

It needs to be added Woodside. Where, I don't know. Probably somewhere in the bottom half.

Now all Ring has to do is publish a version of our lists in an issue and give NSB proper credit. BPP needs to christen this thread with his approval of fights listed. Order is still pending.. Hard to keep fixing this list while at work.
