[talip bin osman]

a chessmatch if u will... between two grandmasters of this sport we all love...

im in the mood for video hunting on this type of fights...

care to name some good examples?

the one that always springs to mind with me was Joe Calzaghe vs Robin Reid.

A lot of needle going into the match, as Calzaghe had been chasing Reid when Reid was WBC champion, only when Reid lost it, and Calzaghe having the WBO title did the fight happen.

Reid was the in fighter with Calzaghe boxing after breaking his hand in round 4. I remember Reid catching Calzaghe with a whore of a right hand, that spun his neck round. Reid was amazed that Calzaghe had that good a chin.

Part 2,3,4 & 5 are on the side of it. It was by no means a classic, but there were moments.

the sound quality isn't good.

Virgil Hill vs Tommy Hearns

Ray Leonard vs Tommy Hearns

Any of the Walcott vs Charles fights.

De La Hoya vs Whitakker

Mosley vs De La Hoya 1

Walcott vs Louis 1

Holmes vs Norton


The best of all has to be Holmes vs Norton. A beautiful display of boxing chess, combined with a last round brawl. Peak performances by both guys for me.

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Wilfred Benitz

Bless you Ezzard fan, but I fear it was Ray Leonard who fought Benitez.

Great example though!
