    Sanchez-Nelson is genuinely my favourite fight.

    well..the one that springs to my mind is marciano v charles 1....i could watch it every day...
    saying that, not all of the fight was filmed...i think maybe something like 6-7 rounds of it, without looking it up...i mean 6-7 various rounds from 1-15 were filmed.
    maybe someone could correct me if i'm wrong on that

    Holyfield-Dokes = SLUGFEST

    Corrales-Castillo 1...this is what hell must be like.

    Kid Akeem-Robert Quiroga

    Carbajal-Gonzalez 1

    And yes, Duran-Barkley was ferocious.

    Does anyone remember John Lacicero vs. Caveman Lee years and years ago on friday night fights. Early eighties fight. We should have some veterans that remember this insignificant but great fight.

    Greatest fight: Ali-Frazier I based on overall significance and historical importance.

    Best fight: Corrales-Castillo I based on sustained action with Quality (not sloppy) fighting and an exciting (yet controversal) ending.

    Most intertaining: barrera-Morales I (absolute war with millions of punches thrown and landed)

    Most bang for buck fight: Hagler-Hearns (no comment needed)

    Best skillset fight: Leonard-hearns (all that talent and skill in the ring is unmatched imo.)

    Best contrast of styles fight: Ali-frazier I and Leonard_duran I

    Duran - Barkley is also my favourite.

    Marciano - Moore is a close second.
