What was the greatest fight in boxing history?

Gatti v Ward 2 (homer pick)
Hagler v Hearns

 

Too many exist, even without historical significance, I'm at a loss. Hell wlad vs sanders was amazing lol

 

How can any fight rate above Tyson Douglas

Douglas is written off as a tin can
A coulda been who didn't have the heart
Tyson is unbeatable
Every guy Tyson fought before that had their soul taken, probably all have brain damage now

Douglas' mother passes away just befor the fight and something just clicks
And for one night only he channels the best versions of Ali, Larry Holmes and foreman

And dismantles Tyson completely

 

For pure skill level I'd put Duran Leonard up there

For just ****ed up circumstance
Eubank Watson
GMAN benn

 

I love that fight, broke my heart as a kid cus I was a Tyson groupie, but it's epic. Love when buster goes down and he slams his fist on the mat, so angry cus he got caught. Classic.

 

Corrales/Castillo 1
Vazquez/Marquez 2-3

or battling nelson v ad wolgast

 

- Duran vs SRL 1
- Chavez vs Taylor 1
- Ali vs Frazier
- Haglar vs Hearns

I watched chicon v limon 4 again other day....thats a great fight

 

Nice, as well as Greb/ Walker, crying shame film has not surfaced. Perhaps somebody has it tucked away.


I think Canzoneri/Chocolate deserves a shout, has always been a favorite of mine. Immagine if we could see some of these old battles with modern HD cameras.

 

yeah....hows about apostoli v freddie steel rematch ?

 

Corrales vs Castillo 1
