What was your favourite ever "will over skill" fight?

True

 

In recent memory how about Baldomir-Judah?

 

tito over sweet pea

 

Cotto vs Margarito comes to mind because its so fresh...

I think if Andrade would have pulled out the KO victory that he almost had vs Bute, it would be the same.

 

Some terrible, terrible choices in this thread from people who don't have a clue what they're talking about.

 

I'm pretty sure there is no footage of this fight. I thought the only one of their fights filmed was the 6th?

 

I guess I'd go with something like... Robinson-Basilio 1. Even though Robinson is one of my favourite fighters.

 

Has to be Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan.

 

Huh? Hagler had much more skill than Hearns. Hearns was a bomber with a great reach and killer power. But Hagler was multidimensional. He could switch from SP to orthidox in a blink, fight on the inside or out, great defense. It just so happened that he was also tough as nails.

 

Barkley v Hearns 1

 

Both guys were very skilled. Marvin was more solid all-around, despite not having the speed and power of Hearns.

Hagler was a very good boxer but not the kind of outside boxer that Hearns was, who outboxed Benitez and Leonard for 12 rounds. So he took it inside and was ultra-aggressive against Hearns.

 

recently it's a tie with vasquez-marquez 3 or margo-cotto. of all time there's so many, but hagler-hearns is a sure thing

 

Not really, the skill level of Hagler and Hearns are both pretty high. Hearns had the better outside boxing skills but lacked the versatility of Hagler. You need to have skills to be versatile.
