    Really, out of all the old school fights that i have been told was "awesome" . . . to all the ones we know and love. . . really, none of them come close what Elder and Burton gave us

    If you never seen this fight, i feel sorry for you. . because it was sooooooo ****ing epic and you will probably never get a chance to see it now.

    When i look back, the only real fight i think could even come close to this one . is MAYBE . . . just MAYBE . . . Castillo vs Corrales

    Yeah I remember this one. I watched it with some high school friends who weren't really into boxing. They all went loopy and spilled beer everywhere at the end. Great, great fight, fight of the year if it hadn't been for Morales-Barrera III

    They were even a talent level below Gatti an ward. Corrales castillo was a talent level above Gatti an ward. Thats why it can't be considered greatest ever. I loved when augustus sparked Burton after getting robbed the first fight. One of the worst robberies i ever seen. Poor augustus got screwed his whole career

    I highly disagree

    this fight had all the action and drama you could ever ask for in a fight

    two guys throwing brutal blow after brutal blow
    both with brass balls that night refusing to lay down
    Courtney scoring big knock downs late in the fight
    Elders eyes grotesquely swollen to the point he cant even see out of them. . . Then the shocking knock out with just over a minute left on the clock

    none of the fights you listed played to the excitement of that fight other then having household names involved. . .

    I dare say it. . . better then gatti/ward triology. Better then mab/morales, certainly a **** ton better then Pac/Marquez . . . .

    nobody can convince me other wise. . BEST FIGHT EVER

    It was a good scrap between two total bums, nothing more.

    Greatest fight of all time? Little boy, go to sleep.

    You just insulted the likes of Corrales-Castillo 1, Pryor-Arguello 1, Saad Muhammed-Yauqi Lopez, Chavez-Taylor, Gomez-Pintor, Thrilla in Manilla, Tito-Vargas, and COUNTLESS others.

    The **** General Forum tards say..........
