To many to list, but for me Chavez-Taylor cant be topped! The two best fighters in boxing giving every ounce of themselves. They left nothing in the ring, they brought it all out, and the drama at the end stamps this fight as the best I've ever seen.
That was a great fight, that i had i Taylor way ahead in. Steele made the fight that much more dramatic and unforgettable with his bonehead stoppage with 3 seconds left in the fight. If no stoppage, taylor would have cruised to a UD!

Thats your opinion, others are more boxing educated. A thorough beatdown and a 4 day stay at a hospital in which doctors diagnosed Taylors condition to be the worst they've ever seen of a fighter that was brought in concious. Move along!

It doesn't take away the fact that no stoppage Taylor wins.. and im a chavez fan! I just leave emotions out the door when critiquing fighters and fights. Im not bias at all! I think only an uneducated, bias boxing fan would get offended by someone telling them what it is. Chavez needed that ko to win, and he got it. Acknowledge Chavez was losing until the ko and Move On. Its comical you think chavez was winning that fight!
Best I've ever seen, knowing the result and the fight's classic status in advance, are Hagler vs Hearns, Hamed vs Kelly, Corrales vs Castillo 1, Gatti vs Ward. However, for me, the most memorable fights, aren't the classics, the best overall when viewed retrospectively, but those I saw live that provided moments of sheer shock and awe. Examples that come to mind are: - Froch vs Bute, Froch, the betting underdog, suddenly realising that Bute couldn't hurt him and meting out one of the most vicious beatings of a previously World Class opponent I have ever seen; - Froch vs Groves I, Christ almighty... the iron-chinned warrior's gone!; - Khan vs Maidana, from the early body shot to the can-he-survive finale; - Hatton vs Mayweather / Pac, both because of how upsetting they were; - Tim Bradley vs Prov, how the hell did he survive that round?!; - and bizarrely, Prov vs Alvarado, just for one moment that sticks in my mind, when Alvarado, after surviving several rounds of beating, rallies and hits Prov hard with what he clearly hopes to be a fight-changing punch... and Prov just grins and you see all hope leave Mike's body (it's the boxing equivalent of the look on Jimmy Stewart's face in It's a Wonderful Life, when he returns home, to find his brother has married and taken a job out of their hometown. In one look Jimmy conveys the doom of his life-long hope of a life of travel, agreed with his brother, being doomed to a life of hanging around his dead-beat home-town).
Dave Morreti had Chavez winning 3 rounds and Jerry Roth had him winning 2 out of the 11 rounds heading into the 12th. That my friend is called "All American corruption" Chuck Giampa was the only judge that did'nt fill his scorecard out beforehand. He had it 105-104 Chavez. Yeah, Chavez needed a KO to beat Taylor, just like Juan Manuel Marquez needed to knockout Manny Pacquiao to have his hands raised!!!!!!!:deal
