But the tired fellas only gave us 2 more decent rounds. Ive seen much better fights that lasted more than 3 rounds to hype fights up with, but classics(old ****) plays into peoples minds i guess.
    Just like Ali-Frazier 3................. sarcasm.

      I downloaded the rematch and I will watch it tonight after MMA USA vs UK that reality tv series.

      Have you seen this one? I uploaded this one sometime ago. If you have not seen it, I recomend it I think everyone has seen how it ends but few have actually seen the entire fight

      Vincent Pettway vs. Simon Brown
      IBF Junior Middleweight Championship bout.
      A classic battle from April 29, 1995
      Announcer Mike Tyson

      A back and forth action packed fight that ends in a brutal knock out.

      A fight in which Referee Ray Klingmeyer has a difficult time
      establishing his authority.

      Description: petbrown

      This is the fight in which Simon Brown is knocked the **** out and is on his back
      still throwing punches.

      Side Note:
      This is not a clip, this is the entire fight. There were knock downs back and forth. The ref was having a hard time keeping order.
      The fight is more than just that knock out.
      I upload it so you guys could watch a pretty funny match were **** just happens. I don't want to give the whole fight away.
      :yeha:

        Pettway-Brown was a terrific foul-intested fight. The ending sort of made people forget the rest of the fight, which was exciting. Tyson was unintentionally hilarious during that commentary.

          Saad-Lopez 2
          Saad-M. Johnson 1
          Chacon-Edwards 2
          Chacon-Limon 4
          Ali-Frazier 1 and 3
          Corrales-Castillo 1
          Barrera-Morales 1
          Carbajal-Gonzalez 1
          Trinidad-Vargas
          Sithatchawal-Monishpour
          Gatti-Robinson 1
          Pryor-Arguello 1
          I always thought Hagler Hearns was a good fight but it is overrated when people call it the best fight ever, I agree that all those fights are probably better, I would also rate the 2 Bowe Golota fights above it as far as brutal action were concerned, maybe Bowe Holyfield 1 as well. Moore vs Yvon Durelle was another good one, There are a lot of fights that I have seen that have had equal if not more action in them but where not big events so get little attention, what about Mormeck vs Bell 1 that had brutal action in ever single round maybe not the same skill leve but none the less a great war. I never care what over people think about fights I just watch the one's that i enjoy.

            I forgot about Moore-Durelle I.

            That's pretty high up there on my list.

              I doubt you'll find too many 3 round fights that are more ferocious out there.

                So much happened in them 3 rounds that far surpass many great fights that went to the later rounds. The fact that it featured 2 all-time greats slugging it out non-stop is why it is regarded so high.

                It is hard to name the greatest fight ever, but Hagler/Hearns is among them.

                  IMHO Hagler-Hearns is the BEST THREE ROUND FIGHT OF ALL TIME...
