    I've seen a bunch of good ones over the years and it would be hard to pick one. But HAGLER/HEARNS has to be my favorite because of the fact that it was a major event in the days before 12 rounders and payper view. Marvelous Marvin was the Undisputed Champion and The Motor City Cobra was the first real threat to dethrone him. Both guy's actually taped Pizza Hut commercials BEFORE the fight in the event that the winner's commercial would run the next day.

    Everyone now knows that they put on three of the most exciting rounds in the history of the game. Marvin came out on top but was hurt and cut bad before he knocked Tommy into another zipcode. Tommy's Motown Posse with thier Jeri curls had to carry him from the ring.

    It was Marvin's commercial that ran nationally on all the morning news shows the very day. His entertaining commercial ran something like this: He took a bite of his Pizza and as the camera panned back from him he said: "mmm, I wonder what the other guy is eating, probably SOUP!

    Hagler/ Hearns is my number one. The rest are not listed in any order but left an impression on me.


    • Foreman/Lyle... WOW
    • Holmes/Norton.... Great last round
    • Arguello/Pryor (both fights)... AMAZING
    • Mancini/Kim... Sad ending to a great fight
    • Hearns/Leonard... Exciting... Lived up to the hype.
    • Gatti/ Ward... All good fights
    • Corales/Castillo... Gotta be on everyone's list
    Some of my brother and sister ex sister inlaws' fights rate right up there with the best of 'em but we did not have the foresight to tape 'em

    Hope you enjoy my list and I further hope I jogged some of you old timer's memories.

    Unfortunately I'm not old enough to have seen most of the fights you have on your list LIVE but I could only imagine.
    Great list...
