    Ali vs Terell was a brutal master piece. Terell was much bigger than Ali and was making his 4th title defense....Ali made him look like a novice , another of my favorites too

    I take Leonard over Hearns any day. You don't be the smaller man, walk through huge right hand bombs, keep coming, and get the KO 14 rounds later.

    Great thread Jeff :good

    For me it would be any of the Leonard-Hearns-Duran-Hagler series

    FOTC and the Thrilla in Manilla

    Pacquiao against Hatton, Morales, Cotto, Barrera, Marquez - Pac was in so many great fights

    Mayweather v Hatton - A really memorable fight for us Brits, the build up was amazing and Mayweather's performance was sensational

    Holyfield v Tyson 1

    Eubank v Benn

    Tyson v Douglas

    Tyson v Ruddock 1 and 2

    Holyfield v Foreman, Cooper, Bowe - Holyfield has as many great fights as Pacquiao

    Calzaghe v Kessler - Great fight between two undefeated champs, as Joe finally unified the division. Best British fighter of the last decade


    Many more, I just can't remember off the top of my head - I may have misread the thread title :lol: This is just a list of many of my favourite fights
