It has to be top 5. I'm still too wired and drunk to think clearly through all of the fights, but this is right up there with Hagler-Hearns in my book. Maybe better in terms of pure action and a guy just showing unbelievable guts. I thought Pavlik was gone in the 2nd. His head was on a swivel and got up dazed with half the round left. To come back and score a knockout after that is just the stuff of legend. There's a rematch clause, and I look forward to it. I could definitely see Taylor taking the rematch if he fights more relaxed. He seemed to get too anxious at times and waste punches.
Anyway, enough of my rambling....where do you guys see this as an all-time fight? I'm about to watch it again.
