    Eubank vs watson is quite possibly the best fight I've seen live. So much drama from one man looking like he was about to become champion with relative ease to the tragic ending in the 12th. Just a legendary fight!

        Canelo unifying but Plant was just in the way.

        All good picks, true that Hearns got robbed in his fight for revenge. It actually mimic a bit the first one but Hearn was able to box more effectively with range.

          Canelo-Plant actually has all the rights to be included on this list, fight crowned the 1st Undisputed SMW in Boxing History so yeah, great to see 168 has its legendary fights with legendary fighters considering it only has 40 years of existence.

            To his credit, Sugar Ray has admitted as time went on that Hearns should have won that one. The Hitman was absolutely robbed of an important legacy fight that night,

                Surely the unification fight between the unbeaten Calzaghe and the unbeaten Mikkel Kessler should have made that list?

                  Puttin Ginger on here is funny. Replace that fight with Chong Pal Park vs vs Sutherland. Ibf and lineal were on the line and it was a great fight!

                    Calzaghe vs lacy still one of the most onesided 12 round beat downs you'll see. Calzaghe battered him from start to finish

                    ​​​Also Benn vs Mcclellen is one of the most brutal fights you can watch. Absolute war
