Great list Silencer, particularly like these ones.

Simon Brown vs Tyrone Trice
Jorge Arce vs Hussein Hussein 1


Jorge Arce vs Hussein Hussein 1
that fight you cannot **** with, its easily the epitome of a "Great fights that no one talks about"

[Benncollinsaad]

Did anybody mention Thompson-Haye yet? Any fight with Carl Thompson is good really.

[mrboxer]

We all know the epics but what fights do you love that get little mention?

Let's not try and be too obscure and go with fights only serious collectors and historians may know.

My pick is Dave "Boy" Mcauley vs Fidel Bassa (i forget the exact year - 80's) in an unbelievable up and down thriller.

Interested to hear your thoughts on any others but love to hear from anyone who saw the one I mentioned.

i have never heard of these guys were did they fight in tim buck two,i thought you wanted fights that serious collectors and historians wanted

Yeah, for pure action it was even better than the action packed main event between Morales and Pacquiao, great fight.

[Hagler★]

I thought I knew a bit about boxing until I saw Silencers post I have a long way to go to get on that kind of level

I just had a lot of free time. Can't be picky about what fights you watch, I pretty much watched every fight that I could find when I had more time both to study the fighters and to see if that fight was a good one.

Just this year there have been some really good fights that people seldom talk about like

Anthony Mundine vs Daniel Geale
Martin Rogan vs Sam ***ton
Martin Rogan vs Matt Skelton
Nathan Cleverly vs Danny McIntosh (A little one sided but hey)
Simone Califano vs Pasqual Di Silvio
Giacobbe Fragomeni vs Kryzstof Wlodarczyk
Carlos Abregu vs Irving Garcia
Jon Thaxton vs Tom Glover
Danny Williams vs Carl Baker

I hear the recent Ryan Rhodes vs Jamie Moore fight was a great one but I haven't watched it yet.

Yeah, that was the fight that convinced me that Canizales had some of the best footwork I've seen, the guy was moving in and out, little steps to the side etc. beautiful footwork.
