Most Exciting Fights Ever Between Two Pure Boxers

[DetroitFast]

oh damn it was already posted lol but oscar vs ike quartey, barrera vs junior jones, rjj hopkins 1, rjj james toney.

First thing that comes to mind is Thomas Hearns - Wilfred Benitez

This was a great fight because of how Benitez refused to lie down even though the odds were stacked against him. Incredible skill level on display though. El Radar's defensive instincts were so good it's ridiculous.

has a fight between 2 pure boxers ever been FOTY? I was listening to thaboxingvoice and they were debating it.

De La Hoya-Mayweather

[soul_survivor]

Pacquiao v Morales I

SRL V Hearns I

Eubank v Watson, this is probably the best of the lot!

Boxing scholars of NSB, can you name some? I would love to check those fights out.

I like you Jas, but I cant stand the term 'pure boxer' as I think its nonsense. No two boxers are the same, they all fight differently. Sure, there are some similarities in the style and approach of certain fighters, but pigeon holing fighters as 'Brawler's', 'pure boxers', 'dancers', 'box-punchers' etc. is a bit lazy.

It doesnt even take great fighters to make great fights(Gatti-Ward for example) and it often goes that a fight that looks boring on paper can throw up a pleasnt surprise. My two cents worth.

Agree with everything listed.

Roy Jones vs Montell Griffin 1 was good. Ice was frustrating Roy early on.

[New England]

Toney vs Mccallum 1,2 are about as good as it gets...

I also liked the jmm vs barrera fight

you're calling james toney and mike mccallum pure boxers?

technicians, sure, but pure boxers? especially toney?

[New England]

Pacquiao v Morales I

SRL V Hearns I

Eubank v Watson, this is probably the best of the lot!

we must have a different definition of pure boxer

manny pacquiao? early period pacquiao, no less?
