    What are your favourite rounds in boxing history?

    For me: Holyfield - Bowe 1, Round 10
    Hearns - Hagler Round 1

    Hagler/Hearns (round one) walks it IMO.

    But a few others, perhaps less thought about, to add to the debate:

    Liles/LittleII (round 3)

    Benn/Barkley

    Garza/Meza

    Difficult trying to select a best round in history, but one of historical
    importance was the 1960 round 5 of the Ingemar Johannsson vs Floyd Patterson fight when Floyd scored a devastating knockout to
    regain the title.

    Sorry, I meant to say the best rounds for pure adrenalin-fueled action. Where both men just go at it like there's no tomorrow.

    Norton-Holmes round 15.
    One of the great heavyweight rounds.

    Gomez-Pintor round 12.

    Barrera-Morales I round 5.

    and the first round of McCallum-Jackson is awesome.

    More recently, round 3 of Vasquez-Marquez II and round 4 of their 3rd fight were both great.

    and of course Gatti-Ward round 9 and Corralles-Castillo round 10.

    ...........Saad/Lopez II, round eight.


    Also of note is round nine of the first Jofre-Medel fight. That was sensational. Definitely check that fight out if you can find it. Round five of that bout was amazing too.

    Forget Hagler-Hearns, try Hagler-Mugabi, round six.

    I've only seen this round in really bad quality (obviously - its from the early 20's). Does anyone know of any good quality versions?
