    Gatti/Ward was epic but my personal favourite was watching Naseem getting spanked by Marco !

    Agreed the naz v mab was a classic I just loved the different styles in Ali and smoking joe and the effort joe put in and the fact he fought 2 rounds blind he would of died trying to win that night a true warrior

    i think Gatti vs Ward is overrated the courage and heart is amazing but the skills are abit sloppy

    i prefer fights with better technique but Gatti vs Ward is an amazing fight

    Chacon vs Limon 4 or Chacon vs Boza Edwards probably gets my vote

    Gatti-Ward is an amazing, entertaining fight, with lots of sublime moments of incredible courage and raw machismo. But as Gpater mentioned, its not the most skillful.

    Barrera-Morales 1 is more for the purists in that respect, whereas Chico-JLC stikes a nice balance between a high level of skill (in terms of infighting) and plenty of excitement and entertainment.

    Ali-Frazier III is an epic & brilliant fight, but perhaps doesn't have quite so many 'wow' moments as those listed above.

    That is an overrated fight - although if you were watching it live when they had all the build-up then I can see it being a lot better than watching it nowadays.
