Clay vs Liston 1 is up there but the greatest is Ali vs Foreman in Zaire. Honourable mentions include: B hop vs DLH, Froch vs Kessler (2), Bam Bam vs Alvarado (1), Micky Ward vs Shea Neary (ATG body punching) and last but not least Floyd vs Hatton with the accompanying 24/7 episodes (spectacle).
What's your favorite fight of all time?

As far as satisfaction it's Hatton-Mayweather since I have never been as hyped for a fight as that one before or since. As far as entertainment. Hearns-Hagler. I just watched it the other day and the entire time you're thinking to yourself "Are they ever going to stop and......you know....box a little bit lol"Comment

Best Scientific Fight: Leonard vs. Benitez (this is also my favorite fight overall -- very intellectual yet high action despite the emphasis on counterpunching -- seen it 50 times)
Best Brawl: Leonard vs Duran I, Gatti-Ward I, Hearns-Hagler
Best Style vs. Style: Robinson-LaMotta VI, Pryor-Arguello I, Ali-Frazier II, Chavez-Taylor I, Marciano-Walcott I, Sanchez-Gomez
Best One-Sided Beating: Louis-Schmelling II
Best Forgotten Fight EVER: Jeff Chandler vs Johnny Carter VIDEO Round 3 and after was insane!!!Comment

Froch-Bute for me.
I'm a big Carl Froch fan, everyone in the world was picking Bute to knock Froch out, and had massive, massive hype behind him, people even had him ranked the #1 SMW ahead of Ward & Froch.
Watching my favourite boxer give him a beating was very satisfying.Comment

Leonard vs Duran I, nothing much comes close too it imo,
Wilfredo Vazquez vs Antonio Avelar
Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor
Orlando Canizales vs Kelvin Seabrooks

For me: Hagler/Hearns, Barrera/Morales I, Benn/McLellan
Special mention for Hatton/Mayweather as I pegged the result 100% in a wave of abuse from Hatton fans that DKSAB and won some money the only time I've gambled on sports.Comment

It is two-folded question. One way to look at it - the highest quality competitive fight. The second - fight you personally enjoyed the most. If it is the latter, then Trinidad-Vargas - I always enjoy when the thug gets beaten to the pulp. If it is the first criteria - probably SRL-Hearns I. But there are so many...Comment
