Best fights of all time

[Chambers2]

I'm looking to invest in some of the greatest fights and would like some input before I select which ones.

Here are the ones that immediately sprang to mind

Gatti Vs Ward trilogy (1 & 3 especially)
Morales Vs Barrera trilogy
Corrales Vs Castillo I
Lewis Vs Vitali (love that fight)
Eubank Vs Benn I
Hagler Vs Hearns
Gomez Vs Arthur
Naz Vs Kelley
Haye Vs Mormeck

I've never seen the Eubank Vs Thompson fights, is one of their fights more entertaining than the other?

[THEBUTCH]

Steveholdsworth has a quite a few British small hall classics, as do a few others on here.

You won't go far wrong with some classic British dust-ups in your collection.

Michael Ayres v Colin Dunne should be the 1st aquisition to get the ball rolling. Breathtaking action from start to finish.

[THEBUTCH]

Just remembered one of my favourite overseas fights, Gabe Reulas v Arturo Gatti

[My T Sharp]

I've never seen the Eubank Vs Thompson fights, is one of their fights more entertaining than the other?

I sort of remember that the first was best, however the second was great 'cause everyone was behind Chris willing him on against the bigger guy.

[ArtOfWar]

Holyfield/Qawi 1 - Pure quality

[Hagler2002]

Monshipour V's Sithchatchawal

[n1ebf]

Thriller in Manilla.

[lowersmiths]

ayres rigby
gatti rodriguez
gatti manfredy

[Poncey]

The greatest fight ever recorded on camera is Chacon v Limon 4. Makes Ward v Gatti look like a pillow fight.

DeMarco v Basilio 1 and 2 is fun.

[Carbo]

One of my favourites for technicnical quality was Dela Hoya - Mosley 1. You can't look far past the Vasquez - Marquez trilogy, either.

From the past, two oft forgotten classics are Arguello - Mancini -- although Arguello Pryor hasn't been mentioned here. Lupe Pinto against Wilfredo Gomez is amazing, too.

Of the local stuff, has anyone mentioned Brodie - Chi yet?

[Finch]

Calzaghe v Lacey.

[Hagler2002]

Calzaghe v Lacey.

It was a twelve round beating, every other fight on this thread has been a war.

[Gazmac81]

Yea Brodie vs Chi was good , Brodie Harrison was not bad also while it lasted
and Gomez vs Arthur was a great fight

[jBacca]

Pacman Morales Trilogy

[EddieShredder]

Zelenoff Hartley

[ERIC GUY]

Ian John Lewis V Trevor Smith,
Latchmere Battersea
up and down, best atmosphere ever
If I can get my video converted to my comp, I will load this up, I had 3 cameras filming this fight, even had Mark Baker use 1 camera, probably the best small fight I have ever seen..

[youngrell]

Vasquez v Marquez trilogy was amazing, you could probably play the 3 in a row without a break and they would look like 1 long fight (except the stoppages of course), they were at it every round, so much skill and heart

[hitman_hatton1]

harrison-sprott.

[Shirow]

The list you're asking for is very very long. Can it be narrowed down at all? UK fights/eras/weight divisions/lesser known fights etc?

Not many Heavyweight fights so far so I'll suggest.

Tua v Ibeabuchi
Brewster v Liakhovich
Holyfield v Bowe I
Ali v Frazier I & II (but i'm sure you knew that)

And for a UK closet classic in the vein of the Rigby Ayres fights how about Scott Dixon v Derek Roche from 1999?

[U.F.O]

Holyfied V Bowe 1

[MightyWarrior]

Ian John Lewis V Trevor Smith,
Latchmere Battersea
up and down, best atmosphere ever

Yeah I got that one off you years back Eric, a real war - always think of that one when I see Ian John Lewis in the ring these days, he's been there done it.

Barrera/Morales 1
Arguello/Pryor 1
Matt Saad Muhammed v anyone
