What is your favorite fight?

All time fave has to be the fotc- Frazier vs Ali I

Close to that is

Leonard vs Hearns I
Duran vs Leonard I
Barrera vs Morales I

 

Don't think I have 1 favourite, but I like fights where there is a fair level of action mixed in with high level skill and competition e.g.

Duran vs. Leonard I
Gavilan vs. Graham III
Whitaker vs. McGirt I
Curry vs. Starling II
Toney vs. McCallum I
Duran vs. Marcel
Marcel vs. Arguello
Saldivar vs. Winstone II
Buchanan vs. Laguna I & II
Robinson vs. Dykes
Canzoneri vs. Chocolate I
Chang vs. Zapata I
Harada vs. Jofre I & II

Those are the type of fights I can re-watch and study.

 

Toney vs McCallum 1

Two guys fighting at almost the highest skill level you can get. No one wins, no one is knocked out. I could watch that fight all day. I love it for the same reasons Morales vs Barerra 1 was so great.

 

Ward vs Gatti 1

Just 2 guys fighting their hearts and giving it everything they had.

 

Holyfield vs. Bowe I, Barrera vs. Morales I, and Vazquez vs. Marquez III

 

A few from mt favorite fighters:

* Chacon-Boza Edwards II
* Arguello-Mancini
* Mamby-Watkins
* Pedroza-Ford
* Gatti-Rodriguez
* Mayweather-Corrales
* Sithchatawal-Monshipour
* Salido-Lopez II
* Sanchez-Nelson
* Pintor-Meza
* Ali-Liston II
* Chacon-Limon IV

etc, etc

 

Margo v cotto 1

Marquez v diaz 1

 

Duran v Barkley

I've always loved fights where an old warhorse uses ringcraft and savvy to overcome physical didadvantages.
Both fighters fought brilliantly this night. Despite losing, Iran never fought a better fight. Duran was on another level that night.

Toney v Nunn

I love this fight because I had become fed up with Nunn at the time. He had become boring, and on the night of the fight I had a strange feeling Toney was going to do something.
Nunn raced away to an early lead, but Toney started to make inroads around the 7th round, and slowly got back into it.

Hearns v Leonard II

I was too young to understand the magnitude of the first fight (which was a more skillful fight) but I was firmly rooted in Tommy's corner for the rematch. There was so much riding on this fight for Tommy.
Both men may not have been what they once were, but it was still a great, great contest.
Hagler at ringside was so biased in this fight it made me laugh.

There are loads more, but a lot of these were fights that I didn't see live, and to me watching a fight without emotional attachment doesn't make things as interesting.

JCChavez vs M.Taylor 1
Castillo vs Corrales 1
RJJ vs Ruiz
Hamed vs Barrera
Sal Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez
Hearns vs Wilfred Benitez
Ali vs Foreman

There's too many for me to narrow it down to one but there's some great fights mentioned already in this thread.

Some of my (many) favourites

Gatti vs Ward 1
Gatti vs Rodriguez
Gatti vs Ruelas

yeah I love Gatti

Castillo vs Corrales 1
Barrera vs Morales 1
Hagler vs Hearns
Pryor vs Arguello 1
Trinidad vs Vargas
Holyfield vs Bowe 1
Leonard vs Hearns 1
Duran vs Barkley
Benn vs McClellan (despite the aftermath, what a fight)
Hagler vs Mugabi
Sanchez vs Gomez
Gomez vs Pintor
Chacon vs Boza-Edwards 2
Chacon vs Limon 4
Katisidis vs Earl
Foreman vs Lyle

I can't narrow it down, I just know I'm forgetting loads of *******s aswell. It's probably between Gatti/Ward 1, Barrera/Morales 1 and Castillo/Corrales 1 for me but I can't choose one over the others.
