    This includes fights you've seen on film.

    I'll go with Willard- Dempsey or Walcott-Marciano I.

    The Ali-Frazier fights never did much for me.

    Foreman-Ali wasn't bad.

    2 many to chose from...But

    The Bloody Battle of Bayomon Arguello vs Escalera I...heck 2 was pretty good as well

    Saad Muhammad vs Yaqi might run a close a second for me (both of them)

    Chacon vs limon IV (never saw I, but 2 & 3 are nice as well)...

    Azumah vs Sanchez/Fenech I & Gomez round out a nice top 6 for me.

    Blob v Tommy Magee out back of The Black Bull was absolutely mad. It was like something out of a movie.

    Whats wrong with that ? :huh

    Duran v Leonard 1 is one of the best fights ever, especially if you want a perfect blend of high level skill & action.
