Top 10 Wars Ive Seen In Boxing

great list bill!

if you havent seen it, i would like to suggest holyfeild-qawi 1,

i thought that was the greatest two way battle in terms of brutality and intensity that i have ever seen.

 

Pryor-Arguello 1 and 2

Foreman-Lyle

Hagler-Hearns

Gomez-Pintor

Dempsey-Firpo

Holmes-Norton

All 3 Morales-Barrera fights

All 3 Vazquez-Marquez fights

Mayorga-Forrest 1

Graziano-Zale 3 (The first two fights were also wars, but only the third fight was filmed

Frazier-Quarry

Gatti-Ward 1

Tua-Ibeabuchi

 

My 10 ten war list, in no particualar order:
1.Nigel Benn-Gerald McClellen
2.Bobby Chacon-Bazooka Limon IV
3.Troy Dorsey-Jorge Paez
4.Ali-Frazier III
5.Saad Muhammad-Yaqui Lopez
6.Mike Rossman-Victor Galindez
7.Arturo Gatti-Ivan Robinson I
8.Michael Carbajal-Chicquita Gonzalez I
9.Tito Trinidad-Fernando Vargas
10.Evander Holyfield-Riddick BoweII

I am sure there are many others, but these are fights I actually saw and come to the top of my head!

 

.........You will not be disappointed in Chacon-Limon IV. Easily my favorite fight ever. Heart-in-your-throat stuff.

You wont regret it, its right up there with EM/MAB I as the best Ive seen, I wouldnt argue with anyone who says its thee best ever fight.



I was a teenager and watched this one live @ home. It's the first time my parents heard me launch an F-bomb

 

Bert Cooper was in some god damned wars. The Mercer fight has him lifting Mercer off his feet with shots. Goes the distance. Mercer's ****ing face was swollen at the end Rahman style. Looked like his jaw was broken.

Cooper/Moorer was almost as intense.

 

...............As was his fight with Holyfield. Interestingly, all losses, but when he decided he wanted to fight, he was a ***** to deal with.

 

Hell of a fight. It'd definitely be in my top-ten.

In no particular order: Ali-Frazier III, Tua-Ibeabuchi, Hagler-Hearns, Castillo-Corrales I, Pryor-Arguello I, the Vazquez-Marquez triology, and the Gatti-Ward I and III.

 

Hard to argue with anything on this list, though IMO, Hagler-Hearns doesn't belong with the rest of these. Great first round, but Hagler pretty much owned after that.

 

How about

Boza Edward vs Chacon
Gomez vs Pintor
Basilio vs Demarco

 

Mark Kaylor v Errol Christie

 

I have to agree.

1. Morales vs Barrera
2. Alexis Arguello vs Pryor
3. Frazier vs Ali III
4. Gatti vs Robinson
5. Leonard vs Duran I
6. Barrera vs Mckinney
7. Holyfield vs Bowe
8. Corrales vs Castillo 1
9. Chavez vs Taylor I
10. Gatti vs Ward I

 

just finished watching it.its just total non stop action,all the way.ive never seen anything as intense.

 

mark kaylor vs roy gumbs

 

I saw Chacon-Limon 4 right on you tube. Check to see if it is still there. Saad and Yaqui were also on you tube as well.
