Top Ten Boxing Fights of All Time

Leonard-Hearns 1 wasn't that great. It was a good fight, high skill level between two greats, shifts in momentum, but shouldn't one of the greatest fights ever have consistent action? The bout was largely a chessmatch, and even got some boos in the mid rounds (8-12) due to the lack of action. There's no way in hell that fight should be #4. It wasn't even the best fight of 1981, as Lee-LoCicero was a much better action fight. In the early 80s, there was a good number of better fights than that.

Corrales-Castillo 1 was miles better than Hearns-Hagler, IMO. Hagler-Hearns really might not even make my top 20 all-time. Great event, great short fight, but there's been lots of great fights throughout history that were much closer and also lasted longer.

Corrales-Castillo 1 tops my list, followed by Ali-Frazier 3, with Moore-Durelle 1 and Saad-M.Johnson 1 behind it.

None of his fights should be in the top ten, and Pac has been in some great fights as well.

Any list without Chacon/Limon 4 is dookie.

I think Chacon's rematch with Boza-Edwards was on the same level as that fight.

Chacon and Saad were some great action fighters on TV back in that time period.

Yeah that fight was also great, I thought Boza-Edwards deserved the win.
