    This should be on the shortlist of greatest fight ever. Like Hagler - Hearns you have "two ATG fighters who were unbelievably skilled" who go to war. But its a different type of brawl. There's no KO and its goes on for 15 long densely packed winding rounds.

    And its a much more even fight. Hagler had it won by the end of the 1st IMO, with only the cut standing in his way. But SRL - Duran had an ebb and flow...with SRL going from almost being KOed to almost winning. The Greatest 3 Rounds in Boxing History may very well be the greatest brawl ever. But it may also be benefiting from our short attention spans. Everyone should sit down with a beer or 15 and watch what transpires in Montreal. There is virtually no let up in action, drama, or skill. One wonders how either one lived to tell about it.


    Excellent post, and not a more deserving fight than this one. Add the anticipation, only matched by the first Ali-Frazier fight, and you have an even more compelling argument for this fight. Fortunately for us fans, it more than lived up to the hype.

    On personal fav will always love Breland v Davis. Has to be a case of first few years watching live and knew you were hooked as well as a top notch war. Davis was just a dogged ever determined tough fighter who maybe never got his due.
