    Ive only seen the 1st Gatti-Ward fight & I heard thats the best of the trilogy anyway & I think its overrated, rd 9 was legendary but as a whole fight from start to finish its not as good technically or action wise than any of my top 10.
    Benn-McClellan was great & makes my top 15 or 20 but not my top 10, same with Benn-Eubank 1.
    Havent seen Gatti-Robinson but hear good things about it & will make a point of seeing it soon, same goes for Carbajal-Gonzalez.
    Arce-Hussain was a great fight (I believe it was on the same card as my No10 - EM/Pac 1) but for me it wasnt as good as the fight that followed which was just as brutal but more technical.

    I also havent seen ANY of the Marquez-Vasquez fights.... those are the fights that sit at the very top of my must-see fight list.

    :thumbsup

    gatti ward 1 was the best,not technical but the action in it is as close as ive seen to being like a fight from a rocky movie

    carbajal is in my top 3 ever,i can watch it all day,great action,multiple knockdowns capped off with a sweet 1 punch ko.

    Pryor - Arguello II i would not even call a war. One sided fight and i've never actually seen it noted before.

    A viewing of Gomez - Pintor will deffo re-arrange your list.

    :good

    While it lasted I thought Lewis- Vitali was a war. I've actually never seen anyone cut that badly and allowed to continue and I've been watching boxing for over 30 years.

    Foreman/Lyle was another great war and was Holyfield-Bowe. Ward-Burton was announced as the top fight on the last 10 years by Atlas and company, as voted by the fans.

    Dempsey - Firpo (SP?), was a war, I have the fight on tape and that's a hell of a scrap.

    Admittedly, most of the wars are in the lighter divisions, but they were pretty much covered.
