    Watching the Ali-Frazier trilogy on ESPN, I wish I had nominated Round 3 from the Thrilla in Manila. I don’t think it would have won but helluva round.

    Done. Some stiff competition there but we shall see.

    I'm not sure either; of the 'stand out' rounds in my opinion it was the 'least' but it was still a DAMN GOOD round.

    I hate to throw out Homes and Norton again, but their 14th round wasn't bad either.

    Sorry, have some family things to do today. Those voting threads take a chunk of uninterrupted time.

    You know I'm messing with you, Pat. I think you do a terrific job.

    Pat, just realised that you didn't include my nominations for Corrales-Castillo for rounds 6 and 8 - too late now obviously. But do you think you could add it to round 9?

    Sorry I missed those. I’ll add Round 9 ... but I do wonder how many fights people think had three or more rounds that are really the greatest Round No. X of all time.

    Well, I think round 6 could have been a genuine contender in that vote. Round 8 probably wouldn't have been able to make a dent in Saad-Lopez 2, but I think round 9 is wide open and has loads of top quality rounds - if people actually watch them all and don't just default to Gatti-Ward 1....
