    Can't argue with Corrales/Castillo. Couple others off the top of my head:
    Hagler/Hearns, Leonard/Hearns, Weaver/Tate, Hearns/Duran, Tyson/Berbick, Holmes/Norton

    Morales-Pacquiao I was maybe not as dramatic as Castillo-Corrales, but still a tremendous final 3. Morales could've boxed safely and took the decision with a minimum of risk, but he switched stance and brawled and took heavy punishment just to entertain the fans. A special fighter indeed.

    Marciano Walcott holds my number 1 spot imo.

    Runner ups would be Louis Walcott II
    Ross Armstrong, seeing Ross just take it, and take it, and not faling or giving up. It just amazing.

    Willard Johnson, great ko. And one of my all time favor fights.
    Louis Conn I, other come from behide effort to keep the title.
    Gans Nelson 1, was a dirty ended, but Nelson was about to go. Not a great finish, but both ended the fight on there feet. sort off.

    Taylor Pavlik I, I like the comeback in round 7th.
    Walker Schmling, seeing Walker having to be put out the way he did was sad. Max was going to have to killed Walker for a ten count.

    Johnson Jeff, round 15. Seeing Jeff go down in a heap of blood. Than the crowd pushing Jeff back into the ring for MORE of a beating.

    Tito Trinidad - Fernando Vargas. The last round was just crazy as Fernando hit the floor 3 times.

    Coralles - Castillo 1 This one will stay in our memories for many a yarn..True-blue-edge-of-your-seat final action.Chico wrote his name in boxing history with that one.

    Marciano - Jersey Walcott After boxing beautifully...and making Marciano look like a palooka for most of the fight,Jersey Joe let his guard down..and Rocky clipped him.Proably one of the most famous right-hand finishes ever.Rocky pulled it out of the fire with this one.

    Chacon-Limon IV - 15 rounds, Chacon trailing needed a 2 point round to pull out the win, dropped the rock-jawed Limon to win the championship.

    Palomino-Muniz I - 15th round - the fight is dead even on points going into the last round, the winner of the 15th round will win the fight, Palomino stops an exhausted Muniz in the final round.

    LaMotta/DauthuilleII tops Chavez/TaylorI as finishes to fights.

    If you want the perfect KO finish then Robinson/FullmerII gets it, that punch was perfect!
