The Greatest Fight Ever

i think so too,i think the key for Cotto could be his bodypunching he should used it to slow Margo down and then coming strong midway through the fight to take a decision or who knows a late stoppage but it will be a hard fight.

 

thats a great fight but i lke the second one better.

 

................Picking hugely attractive big-name matchups more often than not ends up in an anti-climax.

I'll relieve you of the wondering and pining about what could have been........we've already seen the greatest fight ever. If for some reason you haven't, here is a highlight snippet of Chacon-Limon IV. It went on like this for 15 unforgettable, heartstopping rounds. This is as good a fight as I ever expect to see.

Yep excellent choice, for me its between Bobby Chacon and Arturo Gatti as to who is the most exciting fighter of all time. The only sad thing is the price Chacon had to pay after all of them fights, from the death of his wife, to going bankrupt, to the dementia. I have little doubt Gatti will end up in a similar or worse state. But from all accounts Chacon is still a very happy person to be around and is full of joy which is a good thing.

 

Gans Nelson 1, 40 plus rounds of hell.

 

Thanks for posting that Sal

 

Frazier vs ali I...the biggest fight IMO of the last century.

Schmelling vs Louis...In a time of racial disharmony both in the US and on the world stage, IMO the 2nd biggest fight of the last century.

My 2 favs:

1 Arguello vs escalera I "The Bloody Battle of Bayamone"
2 Eubank vs Benn I... I loved the animosity that existed between Eubank/Watson/Benn at the time.

 

Ali vs Frazier I
Barrera vs Morales I

 

I think Johnson Jeff thumps Louis Schmeling II in biggest fight.

 

..............You bet; had you seen it before (the fight, I mean)?

 

No actually, never seen this one unfortunately, looks like it was a great 1, i'll have to watch it sometime.

 

Also Franklin/Yaqui Lopez I, and Franklin/Kates. (Casual boxing fans also forget that he defeated future titlists Marvin Camel, and Mate Parlov, although not doing quite as successfully in granting rematches to both. Of course he also took on Eddie Gregory on the way up. This era was full of truly noble light heavyweight champions and contenders.)

 

III was good but the first Ali-Frazier was Great! And yes so was Castillo-Corrales I!
