    the first half of the fight was toe to toe action but not great toe to toe action the knockdown and the comeback was what made it seem so remarkable but for me waay to overrated



    Corrales-Castillo I is my #1 fight, followed by Ali-Frazier 3, then either Moore-Durelle 1 or Saad-M. Johnson 1.

      That is the best fight of all time for me.

        Maybe my opinion would be different if I saw it when it happened. Then again, I saw Ali-Frazier 3, Saad-Lopez 2, Saad-M. Johnson 1, Moore-Durelle 1, etc....all on video knowing the result and thought they were considerably better than Hagler-Hearns.

        Hagler-Hearns would be lucky to sc**** my top 30 list.

        Gatti-Ward 1 was great but overrated....I prefer Gatti-Robinson 1 as the action was more consistent all the way through.

        Tyson-Holyfield I, Gatti-Ward 3, Foreman-Young, Ali-Spinks 1 were all poor choices for Fight of the Year by The Ring.

        Gatti v Robinson 1 was a terrific fight aswell i agree

        u are correct about not watching it live maybe thats why i dont appreciate Castillo v Corrales as much as i should

                u cant be disapointed with Holy v Cooper ,Stewart especially the Cooper fight lol

                i love it when Evander gets cranked up and starts throwing the kicthen sink at his man

                i enjoyed Barrera v McKinney not of the calibre of other wars but still an absorbing fight

                  I like cooper-moorer. That fight was pretty vicious.

                    The whole mouthpiece spitting ordeal really bothered me, I always hated it when Corrales would intentionally do that. There's no question that it affected the outcome of the fight either. Others may say it's a smart tactic, but it's a disgraceful one in my opinion.

                    Arguello-Escalera II, Chacon-Limon IV, Vasquez-Marquez III for the best of wars which aren't overrated in some way. The start of Hagler-Hearns may be the most electric atmosphere to begin a fight I recall (and I'm speaking of before the bell).

                      indeed Cooper was a little terrier
