Castillo-Corrales I the greatest fight ever

[Winkyftw!]

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.

i personally have never seen a better fight than corrales castillo 1. and i say "seen"

[Cletus Funk]

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.

ooooh benn vs mclellan forgot about that one that was a great great fight as well.

[Cletus Funk]

ooooh benn vs mclellan forgot about that one that was a great great fight as well.

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

[No-mas-tias]

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.

you miss chico, we understand...

Dont we all miss him??? That fight was awesome and earnt its title as the best ever!!!

I would also rank Ali-Frazier 1, 2 and 3 better than DC - JLC, because of the level of athletes participating and again, no mouthpiece incident, fighting under the crazy heat in the Phillippines. Simply, awesome!!

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.
