Fight with the biggest world impact.....It got to be The Fight of the Century Ali vs Frazier I. I can't see nothing better than that.

Biggest upset......Douglas vs Tyson. At 42-1 odds, who ever thought that this would've happened?

Most unlikely result.....Duran vs Barkley. A washed up 37-year old fighting a guy much bigger, taller, stronger and younger than he was in Iran Barkley. How did the Hands of Stone pulled it off? I don't know. With that win, to me, Duran gotta be a top 5 ATG p4p ever.

Most exciting fight.....Leonard vs Hearns I, Chacon vs Bazooka Limon IV and Sactchawal vs Manshipour fights are the best fights I have ever seen.

Best first round ever.......Hagler vs Hearns

Best round ever......Bowe vs Holyfield I, round 10

Dullest fight ever......Mayweather vs Pacquiao...What a waste of time!

Wildest fight ever......Foreman vs Lyle. An unbelievable slugfest!

Worst points decision......Whitaker vs Ramirez I

Biggest World Impact- Has to be Louis-Schmeling II. Imagine if Schmeling had won? Several you could go with after this one.

Biggest upset...... Douglas over Tyson seems like the obvious choice. However, you wonder if there was a lesser known fight that was an even bigger upset.

Most unlikely result.....Al Singer KO 1 Sammy Mandell

Most exciting fight..... Many you could go with. I will say Saad-Lopez II. Ali-Frazier III and several middleweight fights from the 1950s are close.

Best first round ever....... Hagler-Hearns.

Best round ever...... Dozens to pick from.

Dullest fight ever...... Almost has to be a John Ruiz fight, but hard to choose which one

Wildest fight ever......Dempsey-Firpo

Worst points decision...... Lockridge-Gomez has to be up there; unfortunately too many to choose from

Fight with the biggest world impact..... Joe Loius vs Max Schmeling Literally a world war fight.

Biggest upset...... It's got to be Tyson vs Douglas.

Most unlikely result..... Fury VS Wlad nobody really gave Fury a chance, Apart from Horse and I :TU:

Most exciting fight.....Hagler vs Hearns

Best first round ever....... Tyson vs Spinks with every thing going on with Tyson's life and he produces that, epic!

Best round ever...... Katsidis vs Graham Earl, Earl nearly stopped, Corner throw towel in, ref ignores it, lets them carry on, then Earl produces a knockdown in dying seconds of the round! brilliant.

Dullest fight ever...... Nelson vs De-Leon terrible!

Wildest fight ever...... Another Tyson fight, biting Holyfield ear off! It doesn't get much worse than that.

Worst points decision...... Marvin Hagler vs Leonard!

I've never understood how folk can think Leonard v Hagler was a mega robbery.

I can think of so many lopsided fights where the deserved winner didn't get the nod, as opposed to Leonard v Hagler, whichever way you look at it, was a close fight.

Fight with the biggest world impact.....Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling 2

Biggest upset......Buster Douglas KO 10 Mike Tyson

Most unlikely result.....Tim Bradley W12 Manny Pacquiao (not that Bradley would win, just the fact that he would win via robbery Pac)

Most exciting fight.....For me a toss up between Bobby Chacon vs Bazooka Limon IV and Barrera vs Morales 1

Best first round ever.......Gotta be Hagler vs Hearns

Best round ever......Round 9 of Gatti vs Ward is my favorite

Dullest fight ever......Chris Byrd vs Davarryl Williamson

Wildest fight ever......Bowe vs Golota 1 ranks pretty highly. What with all the low blows, then the riot that followed.

Worst points decision......Oscar Escandon W12 Tyson Cave (Escandon didn't win a single round)

Yeah that fight would be the #2 worst fight ever for me. It sucked real bad. I won't be able to endure the rematch if it's like that. I'll watch a few rounds of it maybe to see if it's any different at all, but if it's not I'll be watching something else by the start of Round 3.

The fight was a master class, showing the young undefeated challenger Fury, stepping up after nobody gave him a chance, even mocking him? and schooling the old master in Wlad. This fight was an great example of passing the sword from one great champion to another. :clap: :clap: far far from being dull?

I can't believe anybody can say Fury put on a Master class and be sincere about it. That has to just be British Boxing fandom talking right?

Fury totally nullified anything Wlad could do, empathically.

Agreed. But it was as dull as the paintwork on a ten year old red car.

BTW, I predicted Fury winning the world title after his second fight.

It wasn't the most exciting fight but one of the most intriguing.

De Leon and Nelson seem to have totally cleaned-up a category they'd rather not be winning one suspects.
