What's Your Favorite Fight Of All Time?

Yep, I could watch Victor "Glass Heart" Ortiz get punched into quitting over and over. That post-fight interview was probably the worst I've ever seen. What an embarrassing ****.

Pacquiao-Clottey (believe it or not)
Barrera-Morales I & III
Mayorga-Trinidad
Mayorga-Forrest I
Trinidad-Hopkins
Barrera-Mckinney
Morales-Junior Jones
Tszyu-Mitchell II
Tszyu-Judah
Corrales-Castillo I & II
Guzman-Soto
Freitas-Barrios
Maidana-Ortiz
Micky Ward-Shea Neary (I bet not too many people remember or even know of this fight)
Donaire-Darchinyan
Gatti-Gianluca Branco
Wright-Mosley I & II
Wright-Trinidad
Ouma-Jantuah
De La Hoya-Quartey
Forrest-Mosley I&II
Lewis-Tyson
Tua-Rahman
Trinidad-Joppy
Mosley-De La Hoya I
Valero-Antonio DeMarco

 

My favourite fight of all-time is Duran vs Leonard 1. How many times in history have two of the greatest fighters ever been in the same ring, while both prime, and when both performed brilliantly? Not many. Plus my passion is infighting, and this fight is a very very high level example of this style. Duran is ferocious and just ****ing brilliant, Leonard shows us skills and toughness that he just shouldn't possess, both men become legends in that fight IMO. Nothing even comes close to touching it for me.

 

Micky Ward-Shea Neary (I bet not too many people remember or even know of this fight)

Left uppercuts all night long baby!

 

SRL-Duran I
Hagler-Hearns
Vitali-Lewis
Valero-Mosquera
Ward-Gatti (all of them)
Vazquez-Marquez (all of them)
Valero-Mosquera
Pac-Marquez I and II

 

Ali - Foreman
Hagler - Hearns
Leonard - Hearns 1

 

Why no love for Duran-Barkley? i thought that fight was epic.

 

Barrera Vs Morales 1 and my trilogy or cuadrology is the Vasquez vs Marquez

 

That's my fifth favorite fight of all time. As good as it gets, really.

 

If I had to pick 1 single fight out of all the fights ever, I would go with Castillo/Corrales I.

 

Duran-Barkley gets another vote as one of the best ever here. One of my all-time faves. I know it's not as highly rated, but Duran-Moore is very special too. It's the ultimate example of a young hotshot holding all the advantages swaggering into battle, and very quickly realizing the little man in front of him is an absolute Grand Master. You can literally feel the shock and horror enveloping Moore after he has dealt with Duran for a round or two. He was in no way prepared for Duran's ATG skills, technique and unbelievable toughness.

 

Yeah my top 5 aswell , seems like you know wot youre talking about , and how do you rate Siscthawal(?)-Monshipour? i think that fight is seriously underrated and half of ppl who call theirself boxing fans havent even seen it.

 

No question about it being entertaining, and it was credited by Ring Magazine as Fight of the Year if I'm not mistaken, so it's not totally unheralded. Many Boxing fans haven't seen it, and I think it's because the two combatants who took part in that unholy war are fairly irrelevant in world boxing. The skill level on display wasn't all that high either but no question, nobody will watch that fight and not be entertained. Doesn't make my top 10, incidentally.
