    Castillo and Corrales is my favorite fight of all time. That round was insane.

    Gatti Ward 2nd

    Hagler Hearns was good.. but Hearns was chinny and the chinny guy lost... whereas the chinny guy in Castillo/Corrales was Corrales yet he came back and won. To me that brings the real excitement.

    Cotto was always chinny, and getting KD by Pac wasn't a surprise to me. Fury v Wilder 1 was a horrible fight I could care to never see again.

    Agreed on the Pacquiao-Cotto not being here, but I am fine with Wilder-Fury. Yes there are better, but seeing Wilder's face after Fury gets up is good enough reason to have it for me. (Also I'm a Fury Fan)

    I think Ali-Frazier round 15 would have been a good choice, or Ali-Shavers round 15. Ali-Foreman round 8 would've been good just because of it's legacy purposes.

    KO6 was a great result for Marquez, but the 5th was actually the greater round for their rivalry. Almost unbelievable round, in fact. Pacquiao's fiery desire to come back from the earlier knockdown and hurt his man in return, Marquez' indefatigable will and blazing defiance to hurl bombs back and stay in there.

    1 and 2 don't belong with the others but your Pac agenda is fully noted.

    If Ward/Gatti were sissies, then my 10 inch c o c k is a vagina.

    With perspective,
    1. Hagler-Hearns 1. The hype for this fight and to open that way, 2 ATGs.
    2. Castillo-corrales - fight didn’t really have as much significance but what a round.
    3. Fury - wilder - not that great a round in terms of action but may be very important historically.
    4. Pac - cotto - I thought the 3rd round was more impressive when Pac dropped cotto first time. I also think Pac-Hatton round 1 was way more shocking and action-packed. So many people said the win over ODLH was a fluke and he would lose to any top 10 WW, only to demolish Hatton so that was shocking. I had bet for Pac inside 3 but rarely do you actually win those sort of bets. Pac Morales 1 round 12 was also pretty epic and had me asking “will he do it”, he didn’t but if he did...
    5. Gatti - Ward - still watch it for inspiration today but it was an pretty unimportant event by 2 unimportant fighters in boxing. Just pure action though. But it’s bottom because the skills involved is far lower. It’s like watching a local barn fight, pure action, lower quality.
