Oh, and provide some more lists rather than simply say "you forget so and so" or "this should be higher".

[LeonardLeroy]

Solid lists, and I probably wouldn't put Sithchatchawal-Monshipour in mine regardless... I wasn't impressed by that fight. How would your top 10 look if you had to combine those lists?

[dwilson]

How can you not include any audley harrison on your lists?

[El Bombasto]

Very respectable lists

if your looking for a real tear up check out Macklin v Moore on youtube. Won fight of the year in 2006

Robert Quiroga W 12 Kid Akeem Anifowoshe

I'm glad someone else remembers this fight. R.I.P. both guys.

I agree completely, but get ready for 'incoming'. There are people here who rate that fight very highly. On the whole, though, they're the sort of people that would pay to watch waiters fight in car parks.
