      MSM-Lopez II is probably the right choice for a 14-round fight, but I will forever remain biased toward Pryor-Arguello I.

      It's a shame that there have been so many great 12 round fights, but that it will be near impossible to top Chacon-Boza-Edwards II.

        Saad-Lopez and Pryor-Arguello are both great 14 rounders. But IMO the best is Ali-Frazier III.


        For one-rounders Mancini-Frias is up with the best of them.

        For 2-rounders I think I must take Dempsey-Firpo.

            Bobby Chacon vs Cornelius Boza Edwards 2 is crazy i haven't seen it in awhile, but i remember there being 4 knockdowns ? and Bobby Chacon made a Julio Cesar Chavez type comeback in the last round as i remember it.

            Bobby Chacon is the like the 70s/80s version of Arturo Gatti, rarely was he in a dull fight. My favorite exciting fighters of all time are Johnny Tapia, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Arturo Gatti, Micky Ward, Ray Mancini, Bobby Chacon.

              Jack Dempsey vs Luis Angel Firpo is a good choice i forgot about that, 2 handful of knockdowns and 2 dramatic turn around's in only 2 rounds. Just unbelievable but if you haven't seen Gaby Canizales vs Miguel Happy Lora. Then you need to watch it the 2nd round is out of this world.
