Hagler Hearns
SRL Hearns

Also Robinson Lamotta had many great fights but VI (the valentines day massacre) was really a one sided beatdown for the most part.. There earlier ones were all more competitive, supposedly the fight Lamotta wins is a great great fight.

On the list above, I would go
Hagler/Hearns
Pryor/ArguelloI
Moore/DurelleI
Norton/Holmes
Holyfield/BoweI
I do not know how you can seperate Zale/GrazianoI and II from III, all of them were amazing.
The only fight not on the the list, that would get in my all-time top 5, is Chavez/TaylorI
