Gatti-Ward take ur pick out of the 3 wars they had
Hearns-Hagler wat a fight
Hearns-Leonard another great fight cracking action

You know? i'd forgot Gatti-Ward,i could watch them two fight all night,one of the great fight series.

Benn - Mclellan has to be the single most dramatic fight I ever witnessed live.

Benn-Eubank 1 was pretty good too.

The thing is; the excitement and feelings we have about a fight usually requires us to see it live as well as the build up and our involvement. I remember talking to my pals, waiting for th emain event whilst Gatti-Ruelas fight was playing...I wasn't involved but it was a fantastic fight.

Anyway I can't remember which it was, but one of the Gatti-Ward fights was just so tough and so hars it almost turned me off boxing!

Barerra/Morales 1
Corrales/Castillo
Leanord/Hearns

British
Benn/McClellan
Benn/Eubank
Froch/Pascal

Always watchin David Walker fights as well. His fights with Spencer Fearon and Jimmy Vincent are both awesome.
