Let's make a list of the best fights ever, according to how many rounds they lasted. In other words, what's the best 1 round fight ever, the best 2 round fight ever, etc.
For example, I think we'd all agree that Hagler-Hearns is the best 3 round fight of all-time.
Is Corrales-Castillo the best 10 rounder ever? Ali-Frazier III the best 14 rounder?
Let's try to fill them all in.

Zab Judah vs Kostya Tszyu for the second round? Or are you talking about devastatingly competitive, hard fought rounds? I think Judah's dance warrants a spot up in the high places.
Barrera Morales 1 at 12
Ali Foreman at 8 maybe:-\
Here's a couple of my picks...
Leonard Hearns I for best 14 round fight.
Mancini Frias for best one round fight.
J. Garza Vs.J.Meza Round 1.....and only
Foreman vs. Lyle.Take your pick And Franklin round 8 vs.Marvin Johnson
Good call. I'd say that's definitely the best 5-rounder.Quote:

Round 2- Gaby Canizales-Happy Lora
Yeah, that was good. I guess that was Gomez that won. He had amazing powers of recovery. A couple of times he was really staggered, and within seconds he was back into the fight.Quote:

Off the top of my head I don't know any 14 round fights better than Arguello-Pryor 1, not saying they don't exist, just don't remember that many 14 round fights.
Actually I prefer Holyfield-Qawi 1 to Holmes-Norton. Still not sure that's the best though, gotta think on it.
Oh shit Chacon-Limon 3.
