Tyson v. Douglas was certainly the upset of the decade, but I do not think it qualifies as "Fight of the Decade" as it was not a titanic strugggle like Castillo Corrales, etc.
1970's.........Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier I 1980's.........Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns I 1990's.........Oscar de la Hoya vs. Felix Trinidad 2000's.........Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales I
yes, Gatti/Ward 1 was better. Corrales/Castillo wasn't that good until the middle to end. Gatti/Ward was great the entire fight.
50s: Archie Moore-Yvon Durelle 1 60s: ?? 70s: Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier 3 80s: ?? Matthew Saad Muhammad-Yaqui Lopez 2 is up there. Bobby Chacon's 4th fight with Bazooka Limon and rematch with Cornelius Boza Edwards is up there too. So is the first Aaron Pryor-Alexis Arguello fight. 90s: Michael Carbajal-Humberto Gonzalez 1. This is a tough choice, I'm actually not so sure about this one. 00s: Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo 1 My all-time list: 1. Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo 1 2. Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier 3 3 (tie). Matthew Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson 1 and Archie Moore-Yvon Durelle 1
After round 1, you knew you were in for one of the greatest fights of all time. Round 1 just gave you that feeling.
50's - SRR Vs Basillo II 60's - Benvenuti vs Griffith I 70's - Ali Vs Frazier...either I or III, it's a pick em. 80's - Pryor Vs Arguello I 90's - JCC Vs Taylor I 00's - Vasquez vs Marquez III
