According to the Guardian they are

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

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.

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.

larry holmes v ken norton,final round,cracker

The Ward-Gatti 1, 9th round, was the first that came to my mind

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!

For what is 'paint drying' a euphemism?

Modern day Hagler-Hearns that was

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.

Hearns v Leonard 1st Fight 6th rd.
