What do you think is the greatest fight in boxing history?

[SliqueJab]

Thrilla in Manila
Leonard Vs Hearns
Barrera VS Morales 1
Ward VS Gatti
Corrales Vs Castillo

[TheGreat1]

I've alway like Foreman vs. Lyle. but Corrales vs. JLC may be 1 step ahead of that fight.

can't forget about Holyfield vs Qiwi/foreman/bowe/tyson/cooper

[Tha_Greatest]

Castillo V Corrales

Gatti V Ward

Ward V Burton

Arce V Hussein

Morales V Barrera

[BAREKNUCKLES]

It's tough to pick just one fight, but my picks would be:


James J. Braddock vs. Max Baer

Louis vs. Conn

Ali vs. Frazier 1

J.C. Chavez vs. Meldrick Taylor

Hearns-Leonard 1

Holyfield vs. Dokes

Holmes vs Cooney (remember the hype on that one?)

I think there is a lot of great batles

In my opinion Thomas Hagler vs Hitman Hearns, but could also be Trilla Manila.

james douglas beating mike tyson, though it may not be the greatest fight of all time, is by far my favorite fight to watch.

just the magnitude of the upset alone i think separates it from a lot of the fights previously mentioned. there were plenty of people behind both fighters in any of the other fights listed, but nobody believed douglas could win this one. i just love the way even the braodcasters dont believe douglas cann win until he does, even when its obvious he is dominating the fight.

the circumstances align once a century for a moment like douglas/ Tyson
