    Action wise its one of the greatest fights of all time, but to me their is more to a fight than action: The aura around the fight means alot, ala Foreman- Ali
    I also think that a couple fights are better action wise:

    Chacon- Boza-Edwards ( what a dramatic comeback)
    Pryor- Arguello

    And a couple are as good:
    Barrera-Morales
    Gatti-Ward
    Hagler Hearns
    Mathew Saad Muhammad vs Yaqui Lopes

    But it is one of the best fights of all time.

        The controversy will always keep it below fights like MAB v Morales, Bowe v Holyfield and Gatti v Ward for me. Benn v McLellan was much more dramatic from start to finish, too.

            Yeah, both guys literally gave up everything they had in that fight.

              I have it 2nd behind Gatti vs. Ward I, that fight was just Rocky-esque, just amazing.

                I think Bobby Chacon & Bazooka Limons 1982 slugfest deserves mention in here too.

                Castillo Corrales is easily one of the 5 best fights I have ever seen. Insane action from start to finish...a complete lesson in in-fighting and some incredible displays of heart.

                    I can see the arguments for the FOTC and Manila, but the 2nd fight?

                    Clinchfest with not enough punching.


                    Corrales-Castillo I was definitely one of the best fights I've seen. Up there with Manila, Edwards-Chacon 2, Carbajal-Gonzalez 1, Robinson-Gatti 1, etc..Corrales-Castillo I is my personal favorite.

                      I put the Thrilla In Manilla above Castillo-Corrales I. It was one of the best fights ever though. Everyone has a different one. I think it may be the best fight in my lifetime unless you think Gatti-Ward is above it.
