    Either way, you're way off in saying "by far" because no fight is that much better than Barrera/Mckinney. :hi:

    Gatti-Ward 1 and both the Robinson-Gatti fights were better than Gatti-Rodriguez.

    Many fights can go in eternity but it's a matter of everyybody's tastes.I personally rank both Robinson fights lower than the Rodriguez fight but Ward I over all

    Barrera vs Mckinney is the greatest fight I've ever seen. I have no problem with people disagreeing but when you say Gatti vs Rodriguez was the best fight of 1996 "by far"..that's just not correct. It was a great fight, but it wasn't superior to Mckinney/Barrera imo.

    I personally rank both Robinson fights over Morales-Barerra 1.

    1996 looked like a bad year for boxing

    :good You start to realise why everybody loved Gatti so much once you rewatch his great fights. That man was in so many great fights.

    Agreed on that, if you take out the popularity level of that fight, it sure wasn't the most entertaining.

    Holyfield-Tyson 1 might be the most overrated fight of all-time.
