Eubank-Watson II. I haven't seen it since if happened live, but I just remember that it was an awesome fight.
My personal favourite is Hearns/LeonardII.
I think Zale/GrazianoII was probably the best.
Others modern superb rematches that come to mind include Bowe/HolyfieldII; Liles/LittlesII; Rigby/AyersII (not quite as good as the first fight though); MAB/Morales; Ward/GattiII and Robinson/GattiII;
I like the Holyfield/Bowe rematch.
I am a fan, man, too! ;)Quote:

The rematch alwasy seems to be won more one sidedly then the first fight. Barerra beat Morales the first time. And Morales beat him easier the second time. Greatest rematch of all time.
Archie Moore vs. Durelle
Was that the one where Archie got knocked down about 5 times before coming back to win?Quote:

See now you make me bring out Robinson Basillio and robinson Fullmer ;)
I suppose if am playing 'trumps' with Starr, the April 17 1909 rematched fight of Joe Jeanette/Sam McVey(a), with 50+ knockdowns in 49 rounds, probably was your best all time rematch under Queensberry Rules. ;)
If you would rather play the trumps then I say the rematch with Robinson Basillio is better then that one still.Quote:

200 years of boxing knowledge in their rematch :o had to be the greatest of all time ;)
My personal Favourite is Leonard- Duran 2 .....altough i go with ali-frazier as possibly the best.
Leonard-Duran II just made me angry. I hate showboating. Griffith Paret and Graziano Zale for meQuote:
