My Personal Recommendation of Boxing Matches to Watch on YouTube
In my last post I talked about how watching full boxing matches in YouTube is something very few people do as I have never met anyone who I know does it apart from myself. I also talked about how it is a very entertaining pass time on the same level with watching movies and lastly I showed how to go about it and how to know what matches to watch.
I've decided to make this follow up post with recommendations of the most entertaining matches I've watched and also a list of Ring Magazine's Fight of the year from 1960. One reason why it's a hugely helpful thing for me to include Ring Magazine's Fights of the Years is because if you go online to find them you would usually find the results of the match next to the names of the fighters, and you don't want that, that's a spoiler; you want to find that out yourself and enjoy the suspense.
Also, the other matches our recommend you'll get this advantage too because I wouldn't be placing the results next to them, simply names and then you can run off and go watch them. I haven't watched all the Ring Magazine's Fights of the Years on YouTube but all my other recommendations I have watched em on YouTube so you can be sure they're easily available on YouTube except they've been taken down or something which I daresay is extremely unlikely. So let's go!

Mayweather did so well, Marquez looked like he wasn't the spectacular fighter he was but an armless man.
In Closing
Enjoy! Watching full boxing matches on YouTube provides endless entertainment and it is mostly untapped by most people. You can read the previous post where I made a case for it, if you need some convincing. Tell me what boxing matches thrilled you the most in the comment section. Cheers!
