Greatest fight you've ever seen

De la Hoya- Mosley 1, Vargas

[Smokin'J]

Holyfield Bowe?

[BattlingNelson]

Either Tyson-Douglas or Leonard-Hagler. At least they got me the most exited. For sheer awesome brutallity I have to go with Hagler-Hearns or Lewis-Klitschko.

I'm talking about a fight you saw either on live tv or in person, no fights from the 50's or anything.

I'll start, Castillo - Corrales.

In person either Benn vs Eubank I or Eubank vs Watson II. Lewis vs Ruddock was great while it lasted as well.

As for live on TV then probably Kid Akeem Anifawoshe vs Robert Quiroga or Dave McCauley vs Fidel Bassa I.

So many years so many good ones to chose from.....

How about this in chronological order:

Ali - Foreman
Ali - Frazier III
Duran - Leonard I
Leonard - Hearns I
Pryor - Arguello I
Hagler - Hearns
Tyson - Ruddock II
Benn - McClelland
Bowe - Holyfield I
Holyfield - Tyson I
Ibeabuchi - Tua
Gatti - Ward I, II, III

Here's some I wished I'd seen at the time but didn't until years later:

Frazier - Ali I
Duran - DeJesus I, II, III
Holmes - Shavers II
Leonard - Benitez
Holmes - Cooney
Holyfield - Qawi I
Chavez - Taylor I

Where to begin...to many to list.

George Foreman vs Ron Lyle
Gerald McClelland vs Nigel Benn
Matthew Saad Muhamad vs Marvin Johnson
Evander Holyfield vs Mike Dokes was action packed.

One fight from the 1980's that I will never forget was "Dangerous" Don Lee vs Leroy Hestor, which was on an undercard of an NBC SportsWorld telecast fight card. Them guys POUNDED each other for 8 rounds until Hestor finally was KOed. I wish we had some videotape of that one. Anybody remember seeing that one?

1. Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I
2. Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier III
3. (tie) Archie Moore-Yvon Durelle I and Matthew Franklin/Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson I

cotto v margarito

[Ian_ST24i]

I've been watching boxing (live and on tv) from the late 70's on. And there have been so many i could choose.

It was only 3 rounds but considering the build-up to the fight, the media hype, the atmosphere and the fight itself (while it lasted), HAGLER vs HEARNS was my favourite.

I was 17yo, and was in total awe of it all.

Tyson-Holyfield I.

It really was like watching history in the making, and the longer the fight went on, the more it had an air of finality about it. Not just that Tyson was going to lose, but that this was it, he was done and would never be great again.
