    Take your pick.

    They only list 10 options, so I had to exclude fights like Lee-Lociero, Rosario-Ramirez 2, Holyfield-Dokes, Hagler-Mugabi, etc...

    Personally I don't rate Leonard-Hearns 1 nearly as high as a lot of others do, but I figured I'd list it anyway.

    this is going to be a landslide for Hagler/Hearns

    70s - Frazier/Ali I
    80s - Hagler/Hearns
    90s - hrmmm....do a thread for the 90s im interested in the consensus for that
    00s - Castillo/Chico I

    My choices would be:

    50s: Moore-Durelle 1
    60s: ??
    70s: Ali-Frazier 3
    80s: Saad-Lopez 2, but I imagine I watched all these fights in full again I'd probably be on the fence splitting some of them apart.
    90s: ?? Maybe Carbajal-Gonzalez 1, or Chavez-Taylor 1.
    00s: Corrales-Castillo 1.

    I have a tough time splitting that between Chacon-Limon 4. It's crazy to think that Pryor-Arguello 1, Chacon-Limon 4, and Gomez-Pintor all came within a month period in 1982.

    SMH @ Leonard-Hearns 1 having as many votes as Chacon-Limon 4, Chacon-Edwards 2, and Saad-Lopez 2 combined.

    Pryor-Arguello was great, great finish to that fight,
    but Hagler-Hearns was the best fight on that list, despite being only 3 rounds
