I've asked this question before on the regular forum but I wanted to ask it here as well. What do you guys think are the best fights ever, they can be from any era from the turn of the century to the modern day.
Some of my favorites. No order, but i love them as either competitive fights, a great showing on a fighter's part, or because of an awesome KO. Sorry for repeats and/or errors.

Chacon-Limon IV will always be my favorite. Just spectacular stuff. A triumph of the human spirit. After that, I really like Saad Muhammad-Lopez II, Morales-Barrera I, Danny Lopez-Mike Ayala, Kid Gavilan-Gil Turner, Holyfield-Qawi I.........just for starters. All those are on Youtube, by the way. Check 'em out sometime.
Sorry about how disorganized/crazy huge it is. I've been wanting to write out a favorite fights list for a while and you gave me some incentive
In terms of action and ability it doesn't get any better than that first electric meeting between Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales for the 122lbs title.
