    So many fights for my all time favourite but the one that I watched again and again and again on youtube is Hagler vs Leonard. It's so tactical a fight!

    Lewis-Ruddock
    Margarito - Cotto1
    Ayala-Tapia 1
    Ibeabuchi - Tua

    Mainly because I called all 4 winners & was ridiculed for it BEFORE the fights
    I had the last laughs

    A fun fight with a lot of action. But Ayala's feather dusters can't really make for an all time great fight. Neither guy was at risk of being hurt. There was no drama. It was almost the same thing every round.

    Sanchez-Gomez
    Sanchez-Nelson
    Marciano-Walcott I
    Jefferson-Harris
    Duran-Barkley
    Duran-Leonard I
    Both Chavez-Mayweather fights
    Toney-Jirov
    RJ-Griffin I and II
    Morales-Barrera I and Pacquiao I
    Marquez-Pacquiao 4

    If had to pick one, probably Duran-Leonard I. The skill level, consistency, and ferocity for 15 rounds doesn't get better than that. Old school vs new school boxing. Samething with Hagler-Hearns.

    The topic of favourite fight is subjective, so you can have it if you insist. But it's missing a lot of what turns me on in a great fight. Especially as an 'all time' favourite.

    you should know that your phrasing is pathetic.
    you can't write english.
    maybe tagalog?
