    corrales castillo, just watch round 10, you will like
     
  2. But Vazquez was shot and destroyed in less than 3 rounds... it wasn't a great fight. The first 3 were great and the 4th was just kinda sad.

    Great choices you got there ! I came to add some Moore, Toney and Saad Muhammad, but you got there before me... By the way it's Yvon Durelle, because Yvonne is a girl name.

    I'd add James Toney vs Mike Maccallum I (or 2), Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor (or Pernell Whitaker), Ike Williams vs Beau Jack II... and for a modern and short fight, why not Victor Ortiz vs Marcos Maidana ? That was a really fun fight !

    Thanks. I tried to add some different fights instead of the usual stuff. And I will correct the spelling of Yvon Durelle :)

    Ali-Frazier III

    Ali-Foreman

    Hagler-Hearns

    Mayweather - DeLaHoya

    Campillo-Cloud. (A masterclass of defense, despite the BS decision)

    Pac-Marquez 1-3 (Again, despite the extremely questionable judging)

    Chavez - Whitaker (Again ........ )

    Graziano - Zale

    Gatti-Ward I

    SRR - LaMotta



    Jeez, we can only pick 10? I really want to throw in some Nigel Benn fights. And Tyson, of course. And SRL, and more Mayweather, and ........

    But OP, you kinda' ****ed up your question, because you didn't define "great." Do you want to see all-out wars, or displays of perfect technique? With only ten to choose, that makes a difference.

    Just watched the Castillo vs Corrales fight there. Absolutely amazing.

    But did anyone else think the ref shouldn't have stopped the fight? Castillo was rocked on the ropes but he didn't even go down

    Na, he was ****ed. Only the ropes were holding him up & he couldve been badly hurt.

    Btw, Chacon-Limon 4 makes Castillo-Corrales look like a ladies tea party. Seriously.

    Just watched Gatti vs Ward I. What a ****ing war! Better than Castillo-Corrales.

    Gatti's speed, footwork, combinations and head movement was unbelievable. I thought Gatti won.
