I'm gonna play devils advocate and say that these are the 5 best championship rounds since 1990. I dare someone to disagree with me...come on bitches just try me.
Holyfield/Bowe I - Round 10
Chavez/Taylor I - Round 12
Toney/Nunn - Round 11
Toney/Jirov - Round 12
Castillo/Corrales - Round 10
There you have it.
Yeah Jirov was the Cruiser champ and Toney took him out. Classic round of boxing. Lampley and Steward were so excited they could barely comment on the fight they were just screaming shit.
i remember i was screaming too....
jirov was going down and i was yellin for toney to keep punching
tarver-jones part 1 rounds 11 and 12 were pretty damn good
was jirov-toney for a belt? if so 12 was a classic

Yeah I have always believed that "Championship Rounds" are rounds 10, 11, and 12 or the final three rounds of a World Championship fight. Therefore I couldn't say that Gatti/Ward I - Rd 9 qualifies.
Good call on DLH/Quartey JC, I still don't think it eclipses what happened in any of these other fights but good nonetheless.
Thats usually true bout Trinidad vs Vargas was so close throug hthe fight even Lampley commented on how round 9 is a championship round. But in most fights you are correct about rounds 10-12
One round that comes to my mind is Trinidad vs Vargas round 9. Awsome action both guys firing bombs and wobbling eachother.
Some good Championship rounds I can think of right now
Trinidad vs Vargas 9
Chavez vs Taylor 12
Castilo vs Corrales 10
Toney vs Nunn 11
