    Number 4 is the best on there by far and to coin a Bill Butcher phrase.

    "If you think otherwise you know **** all and should **** the **** off"

    :lol: As a competitive fight it should be number one in my book as well. I just prefer Sanchez v Gomez as its my all time favourite fighter putting an absolute beatdown on an undefeated, prime ATG.

    All my 5 fav fights feature my 2 fav fighters probably.....

    Ali-Williams
    Ali-Foreman
    Ali-Frazier III
    Morales-Barrera I
    Morales-Pacquiao I

    There are MANY more fights that I admire either because of the ferocity, art or both but those fights gave me the most pleasure as Ali & Morales are my all time fav fighters.

    :good

    :lol:

    Well, who in the world could NOT have EM-MAB I as 1 of their top fights ?

    Ps. I noticed you have `Happy birthday campeon` above your Barrera avater as he has just turned 36 on Jan 17th.... the reason I know this ?

    Muhammad Ali turned 68 & my son (yes, you read correctly, my only child) turned 5 on the very same day.....

    Whats the odds of that ?.... my boy having the same birthday as both my fav & least fav fighters, Ali & MAB :rofl.... weird world eh ?

    Your son has absolutely no idea how lucky he is to be sharing birthdays with those two. The two fighters I mostly admire. :D I never knew you were a father bro, nice one. Get him in a gym sharpish.
