    that was my point about it being two superstars at their peak - added a hel of a lot to the event.

    I never saw it in full till a couple of years later.

    have seen some of fights you list ICB, and appreciate where you coming from but Hagler Hearns had it all and will still be talked about 50 years from now whereas your list of fights will be forgotten.

    and you should have put Carl Thompson v Ezra Sellars on there

    Hagler v Hearns is the best but the closest for me to that has been the first Eric Morales v Barrera and Benn v MClennan.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    These are my top 2 aswell. Barrera should have got the nod though. Benn - McClellan was great but not in my top 3!

    An amazing fight that's in my top 5 of all time. I give Barrera Morales 1 the top spot though as I saw it live.

    Maybe if I was 20 years older and watched it live it would be at the top of the tree for me too.

    I never saw until I was actually 12 years old. I was waiting up for the Tyson-Holyfield match and my dad got out his old video collection and showed me this brawl between 2 ATG's. I was already pumped that night as there had been some great boxing on live and the climax (Tyson - Evander) was still to come. This just left me in awe though and since that day I have been waiting to see something more entertaining (in my eyes) not only in boxing but in any other thing in life. It was a great night for me, Evander was the icing on the cake.

    It would take something involving Angelina Jolie and my bedroom to better it I think and I could have that fight on in the background and then when I had finished I'd be able to watch the final 7 mins of the fight.

    Carl Thompson has been in too many mate, Chris Eubank 1, Sebastian Rothman, David Haye, ETC. He's always in a FOTY candidate, simply couldn't list him because there's too many of his fights to choose from.
