For me it's Dempsey-Firpo. Nine knockdowns, two to seven. Drama, excitement, legendary paintings. What's not to like?
Hagler-Hearns is good, but this is better. Any more?

Archie Moore v Yvon Durelle 1
And all the others.

Chacon-Boza-Edwards II wasn't the best but was pretty good. Very exciting fight as well.
