The six greatest rounds of all time?
According to the Guardian they are
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/20 ... nds-boxing
All great rounds, but I'd probably get rid of number 2 and put Corrales Vs Castillo 1, round 10 in it's place.
Thoughts?

All good rounds , or they could just of stuck Matthew Saad Muhammad fights on a loop
Re: The six greatest rounds of all time?
The second i saw the title of this thread i thought corrales vs castillo round 10.
I assmumed it would be in the top 2 or 3
Like the OP, i'm surprized at its ommision. the finest round of boxing that i've witnessed as it happened

Good choices. Surprised Castillo-Corrales isn't there as has been mentioned.
Re: The six greatest rounds of all time?
The article mentions Barrera v Morales I Round 5 but gives barely any description of the action, focusing instead on their unending dislike of each other. I'd agree with the inclusion of this great round, but some more description of the round would have been preferable.

Harrison vs Haye rounds 1&2. Real cagey and intense stuff, like a complexed chess match, two great masters trying to work each other out and not sacrificing anything. Immense!

Great to see Dempsey - Firpo in the top two. Quite simply amazing.

Re: The six greatest rounds of all time?
Nice article and well written, though funny that it twice describes Hagler as "leaping off his stool at the first bell...." which is a bit unlikely.
And I'd definitely add Aaron Pryor v Arguello 1st round, which was easily on a level with Hagler Hearns.
