Classic Boxing Matches

[tommers]

I know very little about boxing but have a sudden urge to watch classic boxing matches, probably cos I'm missing sport or something.

Your suggestions here please.

I'll start with Calzaghe vs "left hook" lacy. Probably the fight that has stuck in my mind the most.

Following a link from another video, I watched a compilation of all of Mike Tyson's knock outs earlier this evening. I always liked watching Tyson, he has a level of focus in his boxing even if so many of his fights were very short.

Well, this was an incredible fight. Regarded as one of the best opening rounds in history.

The first of three tear-ups between Micky Ward and Arturo Gatti is an incredible watch. Guts and stamina. Brutal as fuck.

 

[tommers]

Yes this is the shit i want.

The Ward v Gatti fights are nuts, brutal.

Have a look at the Barrera v Morales trilogy, one of the best of all time, 2 Mexican warriors who hated each other.

Castillo v Corales is great.

Ray Leonard v Hearns or v Duran or v Hagler.

For a real Heavyweight slugfest check Foreman v Lyle.

Was waiting for you Numbers. Thanks, should keep me going for a while.

The Marquez v Pacquaio fights are brilliant too, the first 3 can go either way, but the last - splat!!!!

found this gem recently. Bare knuckle champ Joe 'Lethal Weapon' Savage vs. 'Smoking' Bert Cooper, a pro who had shared a ring with many of the great heavyweights.
