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

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.

Looks like we can afford to turn this into a top 15 if we wanted.. Although, Top 10 with honorable mentions is still solid. "No Mas" is obviously big but I'm not sure it's worthy of bumping anything in the current top 10.. We need to get Bert Sugar in this thread. I'm gonna put it in the honorable mentions for the time being.

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.

I know, it's hard. I say we need to bump DLH-Trinidad to honorable mention status now that the "No Mas" fight popped in my head. Tyson-Douglas is more important.

Alright, I can deal with that. Giving it time is a good thing. The more people that weigh in the better.

Sugar would most likely cloud the situation. He'd be inserting bare-knuckles fights from the 1600's and it would mean nothing. He's a great guy and a hell of a historian, but some of his lists are outrageous.

I already bumped it.. and I know we have a lot of white/black racial tensions fights but Johnson/Jeffries marked the end of white dominance. I have to think that's slightly bigger than no mas. This list still needs more shuffling. Maybe this list needs time to properly settle in before everything becomes fully clear..

I can live with that. Maybe you should set a day or time when the list is final.

It's pretty solid, a couple tweaks and some time and we'll have as good a list as anyone else. Ring got beaten to the punch.

I agree. This thread could use a couple people like The Machine or Silencers for validation though. I don't want to forget anything.

Yup or whatever alias Asian sensation is going by now. Silencers has been pretty absent lately.
