We've all discussed our favorite slugfests where guys hit the canvas multiple times, one subject that hasn't been brought up are the best 10/12/15 round fights where niether guy hit the deck but the fight was still a thriller....what are your favorites? Here are some that come to mind:

DeLaHoya-Mosley 1
Tua-Ibeabuchi (I was there!)
Bowe-Holyfield 2
Vargas-Winky

got any others?!?!

Great call on Tapia-Romero, I'm a huge fan of Johnny's and I'm ashamed to have forgotten about his greatest triumph.....Tapia-Ayala is another classic

Gatti went down from a body shot in rd. 9 in his 1st fight w/ Ward

Yeah that is right. I thought that was the next of their fights. I get those confused. :rolleyes:

Good fight but not one of the best IMO.Tarvers defensive style had something to do with it.

That fight stunk, if it weren't for the World Championship then people would have been leaving after about 4 rounds, Tarver was slap-happy all night and Johnson threw 1 punch at a time

In no particular order:
- Barrera vs Morales III
- Gatti vs Robinson I
ummm... i dunno, this made me realise pretty much all my fav fights involve knockdowns. You could maybe say Barrera vs Morales I also as is wasn't a proper knockdown.
