    All four fights are well worth having in any Boxing fight collection.

        thanks for the comments guyz. if ne1 has seen all 4 fights i would appriciate it if you could write a couple of lines about each fight and give it a rating out of 10 as to how entertaining it was to watch. Im not so much looking for what happened but rather is the fight worth buying? For example i know Tito got a one sided beating, but was it boring or entertaining? Gatti destroyed Ward in the 2nd fight but it was still a great fight to watch.

        Also i am a huge Barrera fan and dont take it very well if i see my fav fighters getting their ass beat. Will the Jones rematch be bearable for me to watch, or does Barrera get beat pretty bad??? Thanks

            Chavez vs. Whitaker is one of the most disgusting robberies I have ever seen. Whitaker won at least 10 of the 12 rounds and was given a draw. People think Pernell was robbed against Oscar, but this was a travasty. I'm sad having thought about it.

              Hopkins v Trinidad is not overly exciting till late in the fight, but it is an awesome display of boxing, patience, ring generalship and experience on Hopkin's part. You can learn alot about boxing by watching it, but it helps if you've seen alot of trinidad's other fights, so you can truly appreciate how good hopkins is for beating him the way he did.

              Pryor v Arguello 1 is great. If you can get a good quality copy, I'd be surprised. It is a high paced war throughout much of the fight.

              Chavez/Whittaker is a great example of contrasting styles.. It's probably one of sweet peas best performances.

              I never saw the other fight you mentioned.

                  Barrera Vs Jones is a funny old fight. I have it on video. It is very close but Junior Jones does outpoint Marco. It was the style that Barrera couldn`t get to grips with. Jones had a freaky long jab and enough power in the right to warn off the opponent from getting too brave.
                  UD for J Jones
