Ali-Frazier III was the best ever HWT fight, absolutely no doubt in my mind, nothing comes close (well, maybe close, but no cigar) & it makes my top 10 in any weight class no problem. I havent seen the 2nd & 3rd Gatti-Ward fights, I heard LOADS of times that their 1st was the best & Ive seen that one, it doesnt make my top 10 TBH & without rd 9 (brilliant, brilliant rd by the way) it wouldnt crack my top 30.
I cannot look past Chacon-Limon 4! I've seen many a great bout but the above just stands out for me for some reason! What those two fighters gave nobody should ever have to give in a Boxing Ring or in any aspect of life! For those who have not seen the above mentioned bout, you NEED to see it!
He is amazing. But I liked Williams and felt bad for him. Guy was totally shot. So that's not one I stick on for fun.
Benn-McClellan was probably my favorite, partly because of an extemely enthusiastic and vocal crowd, not taking anything away from the two warriors.
That makes my top 5 easy, amazing fight but you should also check out Chacon-Edwards II just a year later than that one, its at least as good, the action is just as good but its less one sided. I felt Chacon beat Limon by a fair bit TBH, I still dont know exactly who won the Chacon-Boza Edwards fight. :good
