I know we have all seen it a million times...but for me...the greatest fight (AND trilogy) was Barrera vs. Morales 1. The best combination of skill, true hatred, war, and heart i have seen in a fight.

Super classic, these guys were aggressive, they didnt care about nothing but finishing it
Very interesting watch for somebody like myself, one of the younger generation if you like. Thanks for postingQuote:

Still think the greatest round of all time was Chico - Castillo round 10.Quote:

This just left me in awe though and since that day I have been waiting to see something more entertaining (in my eyes) not only in boxing but in any other thing in life. It was a great night for me, Evander was the icing on the cake.Quote:

I tend to agree. Hell, I don't know a bunch on there. I probably should look them up, though. So thanks. But yeah, you're looking at two guys at the height of their careers in a good era for boxing who generally disliked eachother with a combined record of (at the time) 101-3.Quote:

Kevin Kelley vs Troy Dorsey
Kevin Kelley vs Derrick Gainer 1
Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Marvin Johnson 1
Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Yaqui Lopez 2
Bobby Chacon vs Rafael Limon 4
Bobby Chacon vs Cornelius Boza Edwards 2
Michael Moorer vs Bert Cooper
Charles Williams vs Merqui Sosa 1 or 2
Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor
Kelvin Seabrooks vs Thierry Jacob
And i didn't even have to really think about that list either, there's plenty of better fights treat yourself to these classics.
But as ever its a matter of opinion.
That's pretty awesome. I wouldn't call it my favorite fight of all time but WOW was it entertaining.
Carl Thompson has been in too many mate, Chris Eubank 1, Sebastian Rothman, David Haye, ETC. He's always in a FOTY candidate, simply couldn't list him because there's too many of his fights to choose from.Quote:

I dont care if Castillo Corrales was fought by two nobodies on the untelevised part of friday night fights, that was tops for me.....Greatest fight I have ever seen.....After this fight I made a few people that werent even boxing fans watch it and they said...Dam, that was something......
