I was thinking about this, and it's really hard to pick just one. I mean seriously, it all depends on what kind of fight you are into. Hagler-Hearns had steady, consistent explosive action, but it lasted only 3 rounds. Ali-Frazier III had the bad blood, it had the ebb and flow, it had the drama of being more important than just a title, but it ended inconclusively when Frazier stayed on the stool. Dempsey-Firpo, Saad Muhammad-Lopez and Chavez-Rosario all had great action, but lacked the technical skill I like to see on exhibit. My pick would hve to be Pryor-Argeuello I, because it had the stakes, it had the nonstop action, and it had a brutal knockout to top it off. Clay-Liston I is also up there, that was amazing.

I would say Benn-McClellan and Eubank-Watson II, but both are locked away in the back cupboard for obvious reasons.
But Benn-Eubank I, was the ultimate showdown and beginning of the modern era of boxing. Easily the greatest fight in British boxing history, atleast.Last edited by GEOFFHAYES; 12-10-2006, 09:02 PM.
