By Decade.

Tommy Ryan vs. Frank Craig 1890-1909
Stanley Ketchel vs. Billy Papke IV 1910-1919
Harry Greb vs. Mickey Walker 1920-1929
Freddie Steele vs. Fred Apostoli 1930-1939
Tony Zale vs. Rocky Graziano I. 1940-1949
Ray Robinson vs. Randy Turpin II. 1950-1959
Nino Bevenuti vs. Emile Griffith III. 1960-1969
Carlos Monzon vs. Rodrigo Valdez II 1970-1979
Marvin Hagler vs. Tommy Hearns 1980-1989
Jullian Jackson vs. Gerald McClellan I 1990-1999
Kelly Pavlik vs. Jermaine Taylor 2000-2007

If only I could see some of these fights, I will have to live with the write ups and my over all opinions that great fighters make great fights (Ryan, Ketchel, Greb). Yeah, I liked the Pavlik v. Taylor fight that much.

You can

Robinson Turpin 1 was the better fight compare to the rematch.

I like the rematch more, maybe its because its Sugar Ray doing what he had to do to win the title back. I guess if it was purely as a fight, I would really go with one of the Basilio fights.

I think it was a bad stoppage lol. It was no were near as great as fight 1. the rematch seem to have lack something that made the first one great.

I have read that Graziano/Zale {fight two} was the best of the three,but only fight three got filmed.What a shame.

All 3 were film. Only the 3rd fight is easy to get. The first 2 fights are out there SOME were.

The only footage I've seen is on the ESPN Sportscentury episode of Rocky Graziano.

It's extremely grainy, you can hardly see anything.
