Greatest Slugfests

[MrStayman]

Hey guys. I'm new to boxing, and so far, the fights I like most are the slugfests where two good fighters trade bombs. Don't get me wrong though; watching a one sided massacre such as mayweather/gatti is more disturbing than it is exciting.

I'm just looking for recommendations for fights to buy on DVD. I've seen hagler/hearns, pavlik/miranda, pacman/solis, and most of the holyfield fights. What are the greatest slugfests of all time that I should see?

[brooklyn1550]

George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle
Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales Trilogy
Jose Luis Castillo vs. Diego Corrales I and II
David Tua vs. Ike Ibeabuchi
Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns I
Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Roberto Duran I
Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia I and II
Israel Vazquez vs. Jhonny Gonzalez
Matthew Saad Muhammad vs. Marvin Johnson
Bobby Chacon Fights
Gatti-Ward Trilogy
Ali-Frazier trilogy

All fights that are fun to watch and should be a part of everybody's DVD collection

[a.arthur.h]

For a Heavyweight fight you need, scratch that, must see David Tua and Ike Ibeabuchi go at it. Most punches thrown in a heavyweight fight, even counting back when they went 15 rounds. Absolutely incredible chins on the both of them.

[Luigi1985]

Moorer- Cooper

[Danny Ocean]

marquez-barrera
hopkins-taylor

[KTFO]

the fights I like most are the slugfests where two good fighters trade bombs.


wanna see real huge bombs? then go watch vitali klitschko vs lennox lewis.
don't miss the moment when klit's head snapped back to the ceiling after the most powerful uppercut in boxing history and klit still standing.

[Muchmoore]

Oh if you want an amazing slugfest, the best fight so far this year, maybe even this decade its Jermain Taylor vs. Cory Spinks. Make sure you watch every second of each round or you'll miss something. Don't bother wathing Pavlik-Miranda on the undercard it was boring Pavlik ran the whole time.

Indeed. Taylor and Spinks showed great heart and it's no wonder they're getting all the praise recently.

[brown_bomber]

jermain taylor vs cory spinks

[marting]

John LoCicero and Caveman Lee. About as brutal as it gets.

[Thread Stealer]

Bruce Curry-Monroe Brooks
Sith-Monishpour 2
Matthew Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson 1

[samita]

I don't think it can get any better than Forman vs Lyle. they didn't let little things like defending and covering up get in the way, straight up bomb trading.

[Boro chris]

Johnny Nelson-Carlos DeLeon.

Frightening in its intensity, I was reduced to yelling at the tv "Stop the fight ref, this is fucking awful!"

[brooklyn1550]

Foreman-Lyle

[POSSUM]

Andrew Golata vs Corrie TREX Sanders man they traded bombs

[Dorfmeister]

James Bonecrusher Smith vs Donovan Razor Ruddock - very difficult to get on DVD, pure bomb fest, two bad motha f***ers tryin to decapitate each other from the get go - if you don't get it, Michael Moorer vs Bert Cooper is easier to get.

[jopez707]

Michael Dokes v Evander Holyfield....

They just had a fight in the old Caesars pavillion.. a plain old fight..
