    Hoya beat mosley the second time
    Joe beat Hopkins
    Leonard squeaked by Hagler, Hags gave away the first 3 rounds
    Ali vs Norton have to watch it again, haven't seen it in 20 years
    Hoya vs Quartey was the closest IMO

    Hagler-Leonard with Calzaghe-Hopkins being a close runner up.

    Pacquiao v.s. JMM I was another choice that I forgot to add in this poll.

    Leonard v.s. Hagler wasn't the closest fight IMO, but it has been the biggest controversial fight in the history of boxing.

    hagler could have won that fight if he just fought as a southpaw the entire fight.

    Ali Vs. Norton 2 was a VERY close fight. It was also notable for being the only fight Ali could have been said to have won against Norton...

    Delahoya clearly beat Mosely.
    Ali beat Norton close but clear.
    Leonard beat Hagler close but he deserved it, same with Calzaghe over Hopkins.

    Delahoya-Quartey was a genuine 50/50 fight so I vote that one.
