Boxing: Underrated Classics?

Jamie Moore vs Matthew Macklin



STICK AND MOVE listed one of my favourites Casamayor vs Katsidis but Casamayor had an even better fight with Diego Corrales. Here are some:

Larry Holmes vs Norton and Weaver

James Toney vs McCullum

Gatti vs Rodriguez

Evander Holyfield vs Stewart and Dwight Qawi

Mathew Saad Mohammed vs Marvin Johnson

Lennox Lewis vs Bruno and Mercer

Dunne vs Cordoba



Joel Casamayor vs Michael Katsidis:



Look up at the youtube for Danny Little Red Lopez versus Japan's tough journeyman Shig Fukuyama at a non-title fight at featherweight in the late 70s I saw that fight in the old Gilette's World of Sports feature at around that time and wow! I became an instant fan of Shig!

Also Shig's fight versus Sean O'Grady--bloody! Furious, frenetic, non-stop, toe-to-toe, back and forth two fisted pumping action from start to finish!

Shig is definitely one of Japan's least known world class fighter

Watch more fights from the 60s and 70s and 80s and you will understand why.boxing is not as popular to old time fans today. You will also see that such all-action stars today as Pacquiao and Marquez will look ordinary by comparison.

Watch and learn more about boxing. From lesser names at that!
