    Very close for me between Foreman-Lyle round 4 (round 5 was brutal too) and Holmes Norton round 15

    Holmes - Norton round 15 gets my vote. Norton all over him early and Holmes rallies, he wanted that title!!

    For just insanity Moorer - Cooper round 1.
    Moorer is down less than 30 seconds into the fight and looks in serious trouble, gets up exchanging blows back and forth with Cooper and then he sends Cooper to the canvas!!! Cooper then gets up and is being pummeled all over the ring, but in the final 30 seconds of the round he hurts Michael Moorer again!! Sensational round in a sensational fight. Moorer down again in the 3rd and then Cooper put out in the 5th a classic!!

    Round 6 Marciano v Moore
    Round 4 Foreman v Holyfield

    Round 15 of Terrell and Machen is more hugging than fighting

    Incidentally anybody have any footage of Williams-Foster II round 3? Ring Magazine voted it 5th best round of the year!
    “…. a thrill-packed session which began with Williams rushing out of his corner and attacking with a crisp left hook at close range. A sharp right hand buckled Foster’s knees. It seemed as if the Big Cat had regained his old power and was showing young Foster how it ought to be done.

    “But Mac fought back with a vengeance. They slugged it out with lefts and rights, with Williams seemingly having an edge in the furious exchange. Foster shot a vicious left hook to the Big Cat’s jaw which floored him. After Cleve arose, another hook sent him back to the canvas. A few moments later, Foster landed a tremendous left hook to Williams’ jaw, then crashed a right and it was all over. Williams fell heavily to the floor.”

    R11 in FOTC was a pretty good round
