    Foreman-Frazier 1 may well trump them for me though, purely because of the nature of the win

    Locche-Cervantes I sounds absolutely other-wordly, and may be the fight I'd like to see in full more than any other.

    Not really Joe was the favourite and Foreman demolished him in an amazing way, for Alis to be as amazing he would of had to walk in the ring and bounce Foreman off the floor a few times, it was still amazing but it was amazing because of what Ali did in beating a favourite he didn't do it in an extremley exiting way like Foreman did

    I am partial to Armstrong vs Ross.....

    out of those listed:
    Duran-SRL

    Frazier-Ali
    Charles-Walcott



    SRL-Hagler (Good performance, but past prime for both and a draw on my card)
    Chavez vs Whitaker- I disagree with the announcers and the world...JCC was past prime weight and I still scored it a draw...don't believe the hype!
