even though they werent eventful rounds haye vs maccarinelli was just edge of your seat stuff as you knew one of them would get knocked out. Round 2 of calzaghe vs byron mitchell is fantastic. amir khan vs michael gomez is brilliant too

Hearns knockout against Duran is the best single punch ever. My favoutite round is Chavez 12th round against Meldrick Taylor 2 seconds to go! That's what the '0' means.

It was a great punch, with awesome power.

However, I prefer the punch that Ray Robinson threw to knockout Gene Fuller. The perfect left hook, timing, accuracy and power. Terrific punch.

I'll give a shout for:

Witherspoon - Holmes rd 9. youtube it if you ain't seen it. Holmes hurt badly with a couple of shots to head- with one behind the ear then one to the jaw i think it was- then he takes a nasty nasty bodyshot, THEN after Spoon punches himself out Holmes comes back with a huge rally stunning Spoon.

my favourite ever round of heavyweight boxing.

others, best i have seen live: final round of Rhodes - Moore

final round of James McKinley - John Musgrove a 4 rounder at the aston leisure centre. brilliant fight they topped off by having an absolute row for 3 minutes in the last, ring pelted with coins from about 10 seconds before the end.

You guys are well out of my league with your world knowledge of boxers, but I will throw a domestic undercard fight in the mix, 2nd round of Celloe Renda vs Paul Samuels on the Matthew Hatton vs N'dou undercard. No quality what so ever just pure brawling and a classic double knock down.

Fantastic entertainment.

But overall, Hagler Hearns first round was absolute battle. You knew watching that it wasn't going to last long and it was all about who had the better chin.

Marquez vs Vasquez 2 - round 3

Gatti vs Rodriguez round 6

Kendall Holt vs Ricardo Torres

Gatti vs Robinson 1 & 10

Barrera v Morales Round 10.
Joe Calzaghe v Bryon Mithcell Round 2: Calzaghe gets dropped for the first time in his career, gets up puts Mitchell down, Mitchell gets up and Calzaghe stops him

You can pick any round from Eduard vs Willie Gibbs.

Hagler vs Leonard round 9 (I always say it). I scored the round to Hagler though. Fight to Leonard.

Nas v Kelley, could be any of the 4 but 4th round for me was one of the most exciting you can get.

10th round of Corrales v Castillo - best ever IMO
1st round of Hagler v Hearns
2nd round of Hearns v Duran
1st round of Norris v Mugabi
8th round of Hamed v Johnson
4th round of Hamed v Kelley
1st round of Hamed v Augie Sanchez
2nd round of Lewis v Ruddock (what there was of it, just loved the intent, same with first round of Lewis v Golota)
12th round of De La Hoya v Quartey
2nd round of Pryor v Blackmoore

Some of my faves off the top of my head...

I've always liked Calzaghe v Mitchell Round 2 - first time calzaghe had been put down and first time mitchell was stopped i think.

Calzaghe showing he was more dangerous when tagged.

With the likes of Junior Witter, Johnny Nelson and Anthony Small - usually the 12th!!

Hook. I am not familiar with Pryor, I have checked the others out and you have some good shouts there. Who is he?

I can't remember the exact round, but there was an absolute cracker in Jhonny Gonzalez Vs Israel Vazquez

Again I can't remember the exact round, but there was a beauty in Gomez Vs Arthur

The mad, bad, crazy Aaron The Hawk Pryor, maybe the greatest lightwelter of all time.
Apart from the Blackmoore demolition, check out his 7 round war with Dujuan Johnson. He gets knocked down and comes back to win, as he often did. Against Kameda, he's knocked down, somersaults back up and hits Kameda back before the ref can even count.

His 1st battle with the legendary Alexis Arguello was one of the greatest fights ever seen.

That's the fella, and it was a tough battle with Johnson.

Check out the sidestep and right cross in the Hart fight, around round 6 I think. One of the best pieces of skill I've ever seen in a boxing ring...

Bit of a Pryor geek, got a lot of his fights on DVD.

Keem 'em coming

Lyle-Foreman Round 4. Maybe not one for the purists but I fail to see how any boxing fan is not entertained by this fight. Non-stop slugging mayhem

About 3.38 in...

Saad-Muhammed-Lopez II Round 8...Just one of the ATG rounds, 2 warriors in absolute beast mode. Love this fight.

3.10 in....

Surprised there's been no mention of Bowe-Holyfield 1 round 10 yet?

Tyson-Holyfield 1 round 6 stands out from when I watched it live. It won't be up there for action but I remember starting to get a real sense that it was Holy's night, a chant for him started & then he put Tyson down. Call me sad but goosebump stuff at the time.

Spoilt by a premature stoppage unfortunately. I think the referee robbed Joe of real glory there by denying him the opportunity to finish it in style and conclusively.

What I would give to see a prime Aaron Pryor versus a prime Roberto Duran

Benn v logan Rd 2 was a mad round, Benn was out of it and just came back with a left hook that started around his ankles.

Me too, what a fight that would have been. Maybe it could have happened, Pryor was really a lightweight, but couldn't get a shot at the 135 title, so moved to 140 and demolished the brilliant Antonio Cervantes, who'd made about 20 defences of his title.

Torres vs. Holt II, round 1, was feck-hot!

toney v jirov - round 12

cunningham v adamek - round 4
