    Ali vs Williams
    Dempsey vs Firpo
    Dempsey vs Willard
    Foreman vs Lyle
    Hagler vs Hearns
    Marciano vs Walcott 1
    Layne vs Satterfield (what exists of it, at least)
    Louis vs Schmeling 2
    Marciano vs Layne
    Hagler vs Mugabi
    Gatti vs Ward 1

    If you held a gun to my head, id either call Marciano vs Walcott or Hagler vs Hearns my favorite

    Also, Walcott vs Louis (what there is of it) is criminally underrated and Ali vs Frazier a tad overrated IMO (i still love that fight)

    You don't like a slugfest? What do you hope for in a fight?

    Maybe, but for sheer drama and excitement, their first fight was second to none.

    I can't decide between Bonaduce vs Williams or Bol vs Perry.

    Not arguing but historically many believe that wasn't even the best of their 3 contests.

    Ward vs Gatti 1 live was the best ive ever seen live .
    The sheer amount of punishment inflicted by both sides was insane.
    it was so bad that i didnt want them to fight again for fear of one of them getting injured fatally .
    Curry vs Mccroy for the beauty of the hook Curry dropped Mccroy with - slipped the jab and BOOM picture perfect left hook.
    On tape Saad vs Johnson 1- Johnson beat Saad pillar to post and Saad came back and stopped him in the last round.

    The hook McCallum knocked Curry out with was great also.

    Mikes hook was indeed sweet but a little wide lol.
    Currys hook was more compact .
