Jesus Christ.

 

Suffice to say, I had a list already prepared…

 

I'd worry about you if that wasn't the case.

 

Sorry - didn’t mean to kill the thread! Blame @Saintpat too as he’s the one who got me started with his awesome 15 rounds thread!

I do actually reckon there’s plenty more scope as it’s pretty non-heavyweight biased and there are lots of more recent fights not on there.

 

Benn-Watson round 4.

 

This was a list i made when i first joined this forum, also @Jel showed me that list when i first joined aswell. That's kind of like a welcoming post saying "these guys actually know their stuff.

But anyway here was my list.

1 Ruben Olivares vs Danny Lopez
2 Terry Norris vs Troy Waters
3 Jose Napoles vs Billy Backus 1
4 George Foreman vs Ron Lyle
5 Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera 1
6 John Mugabi vs Marvin Hagler
7 Dave Green vs Andy Price
8 Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Yaqui Lopez 2
9 Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward 1
10 Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo 1
11 Kennedy McKinney vs Welcome Ncita 1
12 James Toney vs Vassily Jirov
13 Ruben Olivares vs Kazuyoshi Kanazawa 2
14 Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier 3
15 Larry Holmes vs Ken Norton

 

I think that about covers it.

 

Anybody who doesn't say Tyson Holyfield 2 round 2 is lying to themselves. 4 Heabutts and 2 bites with 2 ATG's far to pissed to care anymore and mini riot. It was awesome.

 

I’m sure you’ll find my top 5 most exciting rounds somewhere in Jel’s list. My work has already been done. You will see my name in the phone book also if you have time to have a quick read through. Kidding Jel, good list.

 

I was coming in to nominate the 6th of Barrera-McKinney, as I'm revisiting the bout as I type, but I see @Jel beat me to it.

Oh well, the 7th was hot as hell, too.

 

What was the round? I don’t remember. But there was a lot going on in my head seeing Tyson stagger Holyfield with an uppercut. I didn’t know the result as a kid and I didn’t know who Evander was. I just knew the guy who looked like my favourite character on street fighter was losing and I was cheering my heart out.
