    I wouldn't agrue with any of the three to be honest, I just feel that the war, the knockdowns and then the comeback from Corrales was just like, "holy shit, can you believe, woah, what the hell man"..... ha

    It was a great scrap. A throwback. Every now and then we all would get a little disheartened with the boxing politics and the shite matches and mismatches masquarading as title fights and then a fight like Corrales and Castillo comes along and everythings alright again

    I remember reading about this fight the day it happened and I thought fuck I bet its over rated. Then finally 2 days later it was aired on australian fox sports and I made sure to watch it and I was like It is my favourite fight of all time because it happened in my generation and its just great. Two warriors showing no signs of giving up and just met in the centre of the ring and just traded shots all night. Fuckin great stuff!!!

    I just noticed Diego/Castillo 1 took place 5/7/05 and Diego died 5/7/07. He died exactly 2 years after first Castillo fight. 5/7 is date of biggest win and his trajedy.

    I'm pretty much with you on this one Kel. Castillo - Corrales & MAB - Morales are my two favourite fights! It's really difficult to say which one tops it though. You just can't beat the drama at the end in the Castillo-Corrales fight.

    I can't believe I forgot to mention audley Harrison vs danny Williams , that's in my top 3. Both fighters left it all in the ring that night, it was real emotional drama, I think I even shed a tear or two.

    I had always kind of liked boxing as a side sport, but never really got into any weights other than heavyweight.. I was pretty much a casual fan that enjoyed watching it whenever it was on TV...

    I joined this forum to get tips because I was starting to do a little bit of boxing myself,,,, and this fight had just happened around the time I joined her.. I heard constant chatter about how great it was, so it was the first fight I downloaded and after watching it I was completely and utterly hooked on the pugilistic arts... What a fight for anything I watch after that to live up to...

    You couldn't ask for anything more from two fighters in the ring, and that has really set the standard for what boxing means to me at it's purest form...

    However my favorite fight of all time will always be MAB vs Morales 1... I loved both of those fighters and that was the most spectacular fight that you could image.. 12 rounds of just unbelievable action.. You could almost say at least 10 of those rounds were as good as any round you could see... Just amazing... When you thought one fighter was getting the upper hand for the 100th time, the other would come back off the ropes and rip into the other...

    Those 2 fights were the first ones I will make a casual fan watch to try to turn them into a really admirer... But I honestly don't think they realise how special those fights were and don't really get that excited about them...

    A few fights like that a year, on that scale, and you could almost say boxing will never die..
