    I always thought Hagler vs Mugabi was better than Hagler vs Hearns.....

    Gonna give a shout to Merqui Sosa v. Prince Charles Williams. Imagine a fight so brutal that there’s a double doctor stoppage after 7 rounds, hardly a clinch throughout the bout as well.

    My top 5 would be,

    • Chavez v Taylor
    • Toney v McCallum
    • Ali v Frazier
    • Hearns v Haggler
    • Gatti v Ward

    Honorable mentions would be Bowe v Holyfield and Holmes v Norton
