    #1-ali-frazier1 it had EVERYTHING: relentless brutal combat, an earth shaking knockdown, TWO UNDEFEATED TOP TEN ALL TIME GREAT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPS, brutal hard punching from both men, personal drama-real not conjured up to sell tickets, phenomanal skill level, social and historical significance, fantastic mix of styles, the whole world cared, it was even at Madison Square Garden-no doubt the most significant boxing arena of the 20th century,etc. etc. etc. Corralles Castillo isn't even close

    Ali-Frazier I
    Ali-Frazier III
    Ali-Foreman
    Corrales-Castillo
    JCC-Taylor
    Duran-Leonard I
    Hagler-Hearns
    Gonzales-Carbajal
    G-man-Benn
    Barrera-Morales

    A lot of these fights are recent, I know, but I'm only 25 so going back 40 years is difficult.

    How dont any of you have vasquez-marquez on there?
    They fought one of the best trilogies ever i think. The respect and rivalry these blokes had was phenominal
