    Along my similiar theme recently, name your favourite fight of all time.

    No right or wrong answers, just favourite fight that you could watch time and again.


    Gatti vs. Ward 1 is right up there for me. Then again, their series was great!

    Kevin Kelly vs Naseem Hamad was funny though with the knockdowns.

    Pac vs. Hatton because of the hype that Hatton was going to do this, Hatton was going to do that and boom, Pac made Hatton do none of the sort!

    Harding vs. Andries in Atlantic City

    Ellis vs Michael in Melbourne. That was a belter of a fight and as good as you'll see anywhere

    Morales vs. Barrera - take your pick!

    Izzy vs Marquez - any of the three!

    Very hard to name just one but I'll put in the fight I've watched the most times, Vazquez-Marquez III.
    I've got the documentary version on disc where they show the whole trilogy and have clips of interviews between rounds. The amount of times I've showed that to non boxing fans with them saying 'But I can't stand boxing' but by the the start of the last round in the third fight they're riding every punch is amazing.

    Ward-Augustus/Burton...the greatest ESPN fight of alltime.

    Pintor-Gomez...brutal war between two of the best 122 pounders ever.

    Morales-Barerra I...Great, great, great great fight.

    Barry Michael-Al Carter...Top domestic scrap.

    Arguello-Pryor 1...mandatory viewing, excellent fight.

    Duran-Leonard 1...the pinnacle of boxing IMO...great display of skill, mongrel and heart from two of the truly greatest fighters to lace them up.

    Henry Hank-Dick Tiger...Classic 10 rounder, about as competitive as you will see a one sided fight be.

    Saad Muhammed-Marvin Johnson I...probably the best fight I have ever seen at that weight.

    Tony Lopez-Freddie Pendleton...multi knockdown war, crazy fight with two of the most underrated 130-135 pounders of that era.

    Chacon-Boza Edwards...take your pick from their series, they are sensational brawls.

    Duran-Barkley..Hell to the yeah.

    Gavilan-Turner..brutal, brutal fight.

    Corrales-Castillo..Everyone knows about this one.

    Julian Letterlough-Julio Gonzalez..Im out of little comments.


    I cant choose...to many great fights.
