Barrera vs. Morales 1 or 3: so much has been already said about their fights, but for me it's the ultimate display of savagery, skill, and heart. It's was electric watching it on TV...so i cannot imagine being ringside.

Ali vs. Frazier 3: talk about war. It's amazing either of these fighters survived their epic trilogy (and most likely these fights did as much to bring on Ali's Parkinson's because of the brutal beatings). While the first fight at Madison Square Garden might have been one of the most publicized in history...their third fight in Manila is still the most awe-inspiring. Both guys where no longer in their primes...but fought one of the most brutal and exhausting fights we have ever seen. To be ringside in that humid heat in Manila...watching these two go for 14 rounds...must have been incredible. As Ali famously said: it was the closest to death he had ever come...nuff said.

Ali vs. Foreman: the fight itself was memorable...Ali beating an "unbeatable" Foreman using the rope a dope. But when you learn of all that happened leading up to the fight, fight itself taking place in Zaire, and the cultural influence that fight had (so well documented in "when we where kings")...it must have been surreal to be sitting ringside with thousand of delirious fans and nearly the entire nation of Zaire cheering Ali on.

Ali vs. Liston 1: the birth of a legend. I would have loved to be ringside to see the then Cassius Clay, near his absolute physical peak, shocking the world by beating another "unbeatable" in Liston. To see him dancing in the ring, shouting "I am the greatest!".

A lot of Ali fights for me...but hey...the man had a sense for the dramatics...combined with his personality...and the context of the social era he was fighting in....made for some classics.
