    To difficult to narrow it down to one singular best round, but here is one I enjoy that does not get mentioned a whole lot:
    sithchatchawal vs Monshipour round 10....go to the 4 minute point

    Louis vs Scmeling #2 wasn't competitive, Schmeling was massacred.

    I
    I saw Frias once at the Hall of Fame dinner when I lived in Los Angeles. And guards were not letting him into the dinner. I told the guards, he is Arturo Frias. He fought one of the best rounds in history and Frias looked and the guard and said, see??? The guard didn't care.

    Well it was never voted as ROTY but I am watching Jung Koo Chang vs Sot Chitalada I and round 2 was very entertaining

    Edit: round 7 was equally impressive

    On the subject of round 7s, here are another couple:
    Basilio-DeMarco 2
    Torres-Chionoi 1

    Interesting rounds in that in both cases the fighter who is badly rocked in the round goes on to win the fight.
