What do you think was the greatest fight ever that didn't have a knockdown (or stoppage of some kind)? The only ones I can think of is Barrera-Morales I and Leonard-Duran I.

That was a sizzler, Tua rocked Ike a few times but he couldn't put him down and in the end ike sneaked a split decision.
At first I was gonna say Bowe-Holyfield I but then I remembered Holyfield got dropped in that fight. There weren't any knock downs in the rematch but I don't remember it as being that great a fight, other than fan man flying in. I guess maybe Lennox-Holyfield II, although it was far from a war.
Lewis-Vitali was pretty good
Yeah but that one had a stoppage.Quote:

I'd say Barrera-Morales 1, since the knockdown wasn't genuine. Barrera-Morales 1 is the greatest fight ever, in my opinion, period.Quote:

For two guys to enter as absolute enemies, they did become friends after that.

But there wasn't a knockdownQuote:

'Two Jabs' and that Welsh guy who threw an egg at him.
Tapia Vs Ayala
Hatton vs Tszyu for me, what a night. Thats more personal though. DLH vs Mosely I is the one sticks out.
