Fights you must watch

[HeadBodyBodyBody]

Name a better fight in 2010s. Go.

well, i already mentioned Marquez-Pacquiao IV

apart from that, GGG-Canelo I, or maybe the second fight, I fluctuate on which fight was better
UK-wise, Froch-Groves II was a massive occasion
I'd put Fury-Klitschko up there too, maybe AJ-Klitschko aswell

I dunno, the lighter weights, they're not so enthralling, they need to be something extra-special, like the Vasquez-Marquez series as someone else pointed out, nothing against Inoue per se, as I said it was a good fight, definitely worth watching, just not something that jumps out as a must-see fight for me personally

Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez
Carlos Zarate vs. Alfonso Zamora
George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle
Bobby Chacon vs. Cornelius Boza Edwards II

[Outwest Exp 355]

Alexis Arguerro vs Aaron Pryor I

Pac JMM IV was short but you could argue it was a better match.

AJ Klit was similar in the back and forth at the highest level

Fury and Klit definitely not

GGG and Canelo 2 could be considered

Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez
Carlos Zarate vs. Alfonso Zamora
George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle
Bobby Chacon vs. Cornelius Boza Edwards II

Thanks for these, I haven't seen any of them except clips of Foreman-Lyle, shameful I know, added to the list

Nice one man

I hear what you're saying about Fury-Klitschko, it's not everyone's cup of tea!

I put Inoue-Donaire on the list anyhoo

Interesting that you'd choose GGG-Canelo II over the first, yeah I think I'd agree, it's like they just picked up where they left off, hit the ground running, and Canelo was less cautious, made for a more entertaining fight

What are some fights that any self-respecting boxing fan must have watched?

Obviously there are thousands probably, but let's say the top 10 or 20 memorable fights

Rumble in the Jungle would be number one for me ('rope a dope')

a few others:

Duran v Leonard II ('no mas')
Tyson v Holyfield II (the ear incident)
Gatti v Ward I (that 9th round)

A lot of times I see these kind of lists, they kind of miss the point, including fights like Mayweather v Pacquiao which imo is not a must-see fight, yes it was a momentous occasion but what did we learn, what did we see.. not a lot.

I liked both Canelo GGG fights but 1st fight was at best a draw and 2nd fight was closer where a Canelo win, draw, and even GGG win could be had...that's the sign of a good fight!

Of course this is all my opinion
