    Limon Chacon 4. But for excitement and palm sweating build up and the pugilistic greatness, NOTHING ever came close to March 8, 1971.

    For me Hagler Hearns. But the 2 that the previous Lads mentioned work as well. Actually the 3 previously mentioned. Sorry Morlocks I noticed you mentioned the FOTC. Great choice as well.

    For a very long time evander Holyfeild was my favourite fighter and so him Vs Bowe 1,2&3 have a special place in my Heart, however one that deserves a mention is Mathew Saad Muhammad vs John Conteh

    Leonard vs Hearns I
    Marciano vs Walcott I

    Arguello/Pryor 1.

    It had all the elements necessary. Brisk pace, high skill level, both had power, momentum shifts, strategic adjustments (Pryor) mid fight. Brutal ending.

    After that there was Gomez/Pintor.
    Mathew Saad Muhammad vs fill in a name.
