I saw it on ESPNClassic. The rounds are not all full of footage, but whatever the footage that it gave was fantastic. It was a great fight. One of the best in boxing history. The atmosphere, the anticipation and the result of that fight was electric.

About 2 minutes of each round. I think that was enough to know what was happening.

Gatti vs Ward 1
Barrera vs Morales 1 and 3
and Castillo vs Corrales 1 are probably some of the best I've seen as they happen
Ali vs Frazier 1 and 3 are obviously all timers
Lyle vs Foreman
Bobby Chacon vs Bazooka Limon IV
Cornelius Boza Edwards vs Bobby Chacon
Naseem Hamed vs Kevin Kelley
Just a few that come to mind.

I found a copy of the full first Louis-Conn fight (June 18, 1941), or at least one which has every round, even if not quite all of every round.

It is just too bad that it is only a piece of each round. Someone probably has the full fight somewhere.

Louis -Conn may be number one. Great event.
I’ve seen so many fights it’s hard to pick only ten but a great fight I watched back in the day that I don’t think has been mentioned yet is
Mike Ayala- Danny Lopez. I think it was 79.
