[orbtastic]

Dempsey Willard & Ali Cooper, keeping an eye out for iron bars and getting my stop watch out between rounds.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Robinson/Gavilan x10

[IRLangmaid25]

For me it would be.

Nigel Benn v Gerald McClellan
Marco Antonio Barrera v Eric Morales I
Diego Corrales v Jose Luis Castillo I
Carl Froch v Jean Pascal
Lennox Lewis v Mike Tyson
Benn v Chris Eubank I
Manny Pacquiao v Antonio Margarito
Ryan Rhodes v Jamie Moore

and I will add the last two later.

[Goodnight, Irene]

For me it would be.

Nigel Benn v Gerald McClellan
Marco Antonio Barrera v Eric Morales I
Diego Corrales v Jose Luis Castillo I
Carl Froch v Jean Pascal
Lennox Lewis v Mike Tyson
Benn v Chris Eubank I
Manny Pacquiao v Antonio Margarito
Ryan Rhodes v Jamie Moore

and I will add the last two later.

I thought Frank Bruno was having an anuerism, watching that fight.

No Duran vs Pat Lawlor?

[Goodnight, Irene]

You lost me. It's not my list.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

You lost me. It's not my list.

Sorry, I saw you posted and expected a list from you. That was the most pathetic fight of Duran's career. I think it was on the undercard of Tyson/Ruddock 1.

[Goodnight, Irene]

No harm, no foul

Even if you do continue to falsely peg me as a Duran hater.

[theory]

Let's see....in no particular order:

Hagler vs. Hearns
Gatti vs. Ward I
Barrera vs. Morales I
Marquez vs. Diaz I
Ali vs Frazier I
Corrales vs. Castillo I (if this isn't on your list, something is fucked up)
Chavez vs. Taylor
Hears vs. Robinson
Ali vs. Frazier III
Sanchez vs. Nelson (because it was Sanchez's last fight)

[Ezzard]

Johnson-Langford
Dempsey-Firpo
Greb-Tunney

Gatti v Ward I
Ibeabuchi v Tua
Holyfield v Qawi
Marciano v Walcott

[oliverfennell]

Can't be bothered thinking up 10, but the number 1 has always been

Ali-Foreman

It made history, it was a huge upset, it was a great fight, but more than that, what an amazing and surreal setting and background to the fight.

Give me the Mai 20 Stadium in Kinshasa over MSG or the MGM any day!

Nice, but...

Going back in time 80 years or more has to beat that.

Ezzard. Dempsey vs Firpo would have been amazing to watch and/or paint.

[Roars Like Me]

Barrerra v Morales 1 & 2
Hagler v Hearns
Marciano v Charles 1
