Don't know how many of you are old enough to remember the Ray Mancini vs. Duk Koo Kim fight, but that still ranks as one of the best non-stop action fights that I ever saw (1982 - it was the fight that ended 15 round boxing since unfortunately Kim died days after the fight from his injuries).

most exciting fights I ever saw were Barrera-Morales 1 and 3. Every bit as intense as Gatti-Ward but conducted on a much MUCH higher skill level.

I met Ray Mancini at a BJJ tournament, he trains pretty heavy and shows up at most of the big socal tournaments. It was pretty funny, I mentioned that I watched several of his fights and he launched into this long explanation of why he lost to Livingstone Bramble. I felt like telling him to relax, I'm a fan, not a journalist. Hell of a nice guy and he'll sit right down and talk boxing with you all day long if you give him a chance. Looks good, speaks clearly, seems to have gotten out with all his marbles still in his head.
