    Not necessarily the best, but my favourites are:

    Fidel Bassa vs Dave Boy Macauley 1
    Kevin Kelley vs Troy Dorsey
    Hagler vs Hearns
    Benn vs McLellan
    Curry vs Honeyghan

    Of the fights I've attended:
    Calzaghe vs Lacey (even if it was a one sided beatdown - it was a perfect performance from Calzaghe)

    Yes, especially the second fight. It was unbeliveable war on the highest level

    Their first fight gets my vote for fight i watched in real time, along with Castillo v Corrales

    ward vs Gatti 1 was a cracker too, as were the others lol

    I also bloody loved Cotto vs Margarito 1 fight

    It's just a pity there will be controversy surrounding the hand wraps, as Marg was like a demon possessed that night!

    obviously in a historic point of view, Ali v Frazier 1 and 3 and Leonard v Hearns 1 are right up there as well!

    That's a very casual take.

    I would probably name classics that many will mention, Foreman vs Ali, Hagler vs Hearns etc
    Thinking of some less obvious ones.

    Froch vs Taylor
    Benn vs McClellen

    Corales v Castillo

    I do like the Gatti v Ward fights, purely because both guys weren't the very best

    Not the best fight I've ever seen, but definitely up there.

    Cotto vs Torres.

    Rumble in the Jungle is the most epic and meaningful fight in history of boxing in many ways. Globally. And one of the best fights ever.
