I can only think of one fight that rivals Corrales/Castillo.

[SacTown1]

Not necessarily better but i would say that these fights are on the same level:
- Michael Carbajal vs Humberto Gonzalez I
- Barrera vs Morales I & 3
- Gatti vs Ward I
- Gatti vs Robinson I

GREAT POST - I forgot about the Chiquita-Carbajal showdown, my grandparents were in Phoenix for Carbajal's grand home-coming following the victory, it was one of the biggest fiesta's in the history of Arizona....

I haven't heard any Chavez-Taylor comments in this thread yet, that one's still gotta be top 5 all-time.....

I loved this fight.One of my two favorite fights where Duran-Barkley and Taylor-Chavez, just incredible action,i have Castillo-Corrales in that mold.

I think my avatar says how much I liked Hagler-Hearns but I will say that this fight is equal, if not better, than that one because of two things: it is more recent and the fight lasted longer (therefore, more action).

Nigel Benn vs. Gerald McClellan was just as brutal, and ended very dramatically.

wow I just watching it t see toney and winky, haha winky was waving his arms all over the place on his cell and toney was jumping around all crazy in his nice suit.

On Saturday all they thru were power punches and they were repeatedly hurt and they continue to come back.

the difference...

is that both thomas hearns and marvin hagler both punch much harder than castillo or corrales

you don't understand the power hearns right hand had in it. one time when hearns was on the ropes he landed the right hand, and this punch moved hagler's head about a foot to the left, and his chin was buried, mind you.. no punch in the castillo/corrales bout was that hard. he kept comin like a monster. that punch broke hearns right hand

[Slipx]

hagler-hearns doesnt compare. people saying that fight was better than this one are saying it for old times sake, or to seem old-school.

lb4lb.....Corrales is a harder hitter than Hagler was.

Before you argue, SlipX.....I am probably the biggest Hagler fan in history.

He was a very good puncher.....but was more of a sharp-shooter who used accuracy & well-placed/thrown combos to damage his foes.
Certainly Hagler is a far superior fighter....but Corrales is a major-league puncher, one of the hardest punchers I've seen in the lower weight classes.

As for Hearns....well, aren't too many fighters in history with his power.
