Here are a couple of good action fights you might want to check out Tapia vs. Ayalya 1. Barrera vs. Morales 1. DelaHoya vs. Quartey. Good "boxing" matches: Byrd vs. Tua, Pernell Whittaker vs. Chavez.
That's all I have off the top of my head.

You need to check out Gatti vs. Ward I-III. They are simply incredible.
Great fighters to check out:
Roy Jones Jr. (p4p #1 for about a decade. Won titles from Middleweight all the way upto heavyweight and he was the last person to defeat the current longest reigning middleweight champion ever, Bernard Hopkins. He finally slipped after losing his reflexes when he came back down from heavyweight. What's amazing is that he hid a glass jaw for so long).
Bernard Hopkins
Felix Trinidad
James Toney
Oscar De La Hoya
Evander Holyfield
Lennox Lewis
Riddick Bowe (lol. The forum changes his name from R i d d i c k to Ridsick. Why is that? lmao)
Darius Michaelchelski
Kostya Tszyu
Mike Tyson (he wasn't at his best in the 90's though)
Gerald Mclellan (ended very badly for him)
Good and/or exciting fighters to check out:
Arturo Gatti
Vasilly Jirov
Ricardo Mayorga (this guy gives his opponents freeshots to his chin. He has a granite chin)
Julian Jackson
Sugar Shane Mosley (he was great before he moved up)
Vernon Forrest
Danny Green
Too many to list, but there is a lot of good boxing out there.

It's very possible, but it just seems that Wright has too many advantages. I expect the fight to be a bit closer this time around. If it's a fairly close fight with Wright winning I am kind of expecting Shane to get the decision from the judges. [/quote]
Wow. I was very accurate on this fight. ;D
It went almost exactly as I imagined it would.
The fight was a bit closer, but was still an easy win for Wright. One judge scored it a draw. ???
What fight was he watching? That showed me that if it had been really close the decision WOULD have gone to Shane.
I can't believe I didn't drop $550 on Wright. This was as sure about a fight as I have ever been. lol.
Shane makes Wright's defense look impregnable most of the time.
I remember this thread. The boxer turned out to be Bernard Hopkins. They were doing promo for the EA sports Fight Night video game. You get to work with Joe Gossen. WOW. That is great. I know the Gossens are excited about their fighter James Toney getting another title shot.
I could sit down with Joe and talk boxing with him for hours. I wonder why the Gossen camp split ways with Sugar Shane; I thought that could have been an explosive mix. Considering the way they revived Diego Corrales career.
doc is about joe goossen.. great guy, fantastic family. Sitting in the Tutor-goosen office shooting the **** with those guys is pretty sureal... last week Pete Rose came wandering in and hung out for a couple hours.
Quite the past though that camp has had.. we have been talking to the Ruelas brothers quite a bit and getting ready for the big rubber match between Diego Coralles. Should be a good dock.
Last week I hired Rush from EVS on second camera and even he thought joe was a pretty cool guy.
