I also want to thank all those who have written me with their opinions and comments; please know that your input is always respected.

I have many who ask me an assortment of different questions regarding my opinion. I am not always correct in some views, but I certainly try to provide my wealth of expertise in boxing with the sole intent of being honest and credible with my answers.

I have had several write me to ask what are the greatest fights I have seen. That is really a two part answer because I have never seen Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, or Sugar Ray Robinson fight their epic fights, only on film. But, I have seen some great fights in my era. Not in any particular order, the 15 greatest super fights that come to my mind first that I have seen in the past half century are: Hagler vs. Hearns (1985), Castillo vs. Corrales (2005), Pryor vs. Arguello (1982), Ward vs. Gatti (2002), Duran vs. Leonard (1980), Norton vs. Holmes (1978), Leonard vs. Hearns (1981), Frazier vs. Ali (1971), Foreman vs. Lyle ( 1976), Bobby Chacon vs. Rafael Limon (1982), Bobby Chacon vs. Cornelius Boza-Edwards (1983), Matthew Saad Muhammad vs. Yaqui Lopez (1980), Michael Carbajal vs. Humberto Gonzalez (1993), Danny Lopez vs. Mike Ayala (1979), Ali vs. Frazier (1975).

On a closing note, I would like to bring to your attention another boxing website that I fully support, which is myboxingfans.com and my friend Edgar Gonzalez, who certainly does a wonderful job of producing. Please visit his site.
