    Wow, a very difficult task. All three were epic for different reasons. My rankings:

    1. Corralles/Castillo Round 10 -- ended one of the greatest fights in history in dramatic fashion. This was the culmination of 9 punishing rounds, and a lasting final image.

    2. Gatti/Ward Round 9 -- the pinnacle of one of the greatest fights in history. This fight was like a pot of water sitting on a stove, and round 9 was when it boiled over; plus it is the ultimate example of Gatti's warrior mentality.

    3. Hagler/Hearns Round 1 -- got one of the most anticipated fights of all time off to a roaring start. Amazing action from two legitimate ATG's and laid the foundation for the 9 minute barnburner. I only rank it third because both contestants were fresh due to it being the first round.

    Really hard to decide but in the end I clicked the Gatti/Ward round 9. All of those rounds took my breath away when I first saw them.. Castillo/Corrales round 10 was the last round of the fight and was the most dramatic thing probably ever seen in a boxing ring.

    If I could just vote for all 3 that's what I would have done.

    Castillo-Corrales round 10. It had knockdowns, the most dramatic turnaround I've ever seen, the finality of a stoppage and some controversy.

    I'd put Morales-Barrera I round 5 up there with the others too.

    Hagler Hearns easy - especially if you consider the historic significance to the sport.

    Yes I am biased as the Fab Four what got me in to the sport.

    all these round took my breath away on the tape as i was never involved with boxing when these fights happened. BUT for me the round with the most significance is hagler vs hearns. This cemented both fighters legacy. haglers ability to fight anyone! hearns foolhardy belief he could out punch anyone. Classic. The others where GREAT rounds with icons. BUT not legends.
