    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).

      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"

        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!!!

            A very tough question, impossible to chose only one fight, but let it be Morales vs Barrera.

              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.

                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

                All up there, can't list all of my favorite fights but these are the most recent ones I watched which I enjoyed the most

                    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.

                      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...
