Best fights ever.... by number of rounds

[SweetPea]

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.

Foreman vs. Lyle.Take your pick

Good call. I'd say that's definitely the best 5-rounder.

Me too. That was fun to watch. Cosell was going off his nut. Totally berserk. Lyle goes down!! Now Foreman is hurt!! Foreman is down!!! Ladies and gentlemen, this is slugging at it's best, utterly without skill, the way the public likes it,

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.

Round 2- Gaby Canizales-Happy Lora

I would say Ward-Gatti 1 the best 10 rounds
