1) FOTC 2) Duran vs Leonard (1980 Montreal) 3) Hagler vs Hearns 4) Leonard vs Hearns (1981 Las Vegas) 5) Ali vs Foreman
In not specific order, Trinidad-Vargas Morales-Barerra I Tyson-Holyfield I De La Hoya-Mosley I Katsidis-Casamayor (1st fight I ever watched live in attendance)
Trinidad vs Vargas Pacquiao vs Marquez 1 Chavez vs Taylor 1 Gomez vs Zarate Fury vs Wilder 3 not the absolute best fights I’ve seen.Just my personal favourites.
Basilio / Robinson 1 Moore / Durelle 1 Briscoe / Valdez 2 Gomez / Pintor Palomino / Green many, many, more but them for now. stay safe fellow posters.
Any fight involving Gene Fullmer. He wasn't artistic but the man was never in a dull fight, although admittedly his fights with Carmen Basilio were too one-sided to be entertaining. Gene was too strong for an aging Carmen. But check out Fullmer vs. Giardello. A barnburner!
Hagler-Hearns because it shows up on my YouTube suggestions. Elisha Obed-Tony Gardner for the 154 lb title because it was so obscure and i talked Tony into letting me upload his personal copy onto YouTube. Cooney destroying Lyle and Norton. Because what could have been? More than any other fight though, i watch Bert Cooper mug "Lethal Weapon" Joe Savage for pure comic value. Never, ever gets old.
1. Aaron Pryor v Alexis Arguello 1 (1982) 2. Bobby Chacon v Rafael Limon 4 (1982) 3. Matthew Saad Muhammad v Yaqui Lopez 2 (1980) 4. Bobby Chacon v Cornelius Boza-Edwards 2 (1983) 5. Wilfredo Gomez v Lupe Pintor (1982) That’s my all-time top 5, although I have changed the order a little bit and also swapped one of the fights since I did this three years ago. But I don’t think I’ve seen five better fights than those. My current favourites would look a bit different to the list above, though, because I’ve seen these five on multiple occasions going back 30-plus years so I don’t get quite the same buzz from watching them now unless I have taken a long break between viewings.
